SUPPORTING ACTRESS Lena Olin: Anjelica Huston had the more Oscar-ish (read: hammy) role, but Olin gave 'Enemies, A Love Story' its turbulent, erotic soul.
COSTUME DESIGN It's not nominated but this one should go to Mystery Train just for Screamin' Jay Hawkins screamin' red suit.
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Jim Sheridan and Shane Connaughton: For the audaciuos act of turning the life of Christy Brown ('My Left Foot') into a fullbodied movie.
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
In his script for 'The Fabulous Baker Boys,' Steve Kloves tapped the luscious heartache of two kinds of love-romantic and fraternal.
SUPPORTING ACTOR
Denzel Washington: The scene where he's whipped and stares his colonel down may be the deepest expression of black pride ever filmed.
BEST ACTRESS
Michelle Pfeiffer: In the 'Fabulous Baker Boys,' she gave her first star performance, a luminous fusion of savvy, sadness, and sex appeal.
ORIGINAL SONG
Remember when movies spawned pop songs you actually wanted to hear? Not any more.
ORIGINAL SCORE
David Grusin: His Jazz may be syrupy-mellow, but it worked like a narcotic in 'The Fabulous Baker Boys.'
BEST DIRECTOR
In 'Drugstore Cowboy,' Gus Van Sant explored the pleasures and perils of addiction and masterfully evoked that hazy anti-era, the early '70's.
BEST ACTOR
Daniel Day-Lewis: Forget Tom Cruise-this was the wheelchair performance of the year.
BEST PICTURE
My Left Foot: A small scale masterpiece-profound, funny, harrowing, cathartic, it pierces your soul and then lifts you up high.
