'Silence' captures five Oscars
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — "The Silence of the Lambs," the thriller about a fledgling FBI agent who needs the help of an evil genius, swept the five top Oscars last night, including best picture and acting awards for Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster.
Hopkins, who played Dr. Hannibal Lecter, becomes the third British performer in a row to win as best actor.
Foster played FBI rookie Clarice Starling in "Silence", and also made her directing debut in 1991 with "Little Man Tate."
"Silence" also brought Oscars to director Jonathan Demme and to Ted Tally for best adapted screenplay.
The film becomes only the third movie to sweep the five major awards.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day," the 1991 box-office champion, won four Oscars: makeup, sound effects editing, sound and visual effects.
Composer Alan Menken won the award for best original score for his music for "Beauty and the Beast," and he and his late partner, lyricist Howard Ashman, won a second Oscar for the movie'stitle song.
Menken paid tribute to Ashman, who recently died of complications from AIDS at age 40.
Menken, like many other celebrities, wore a red ribbon on his lapel, symbolizing support for AIDS awareness and research.
Outside the Los Angeles Music Center, dozens of demonstrators protested what they considered negative gay stereotyping by Hollywood. More than 100 police in riot gear and on horseback
kept them from interfering with the arriving celebrities.
The activists objected to portrayals in three Oscar-nominated films; a gay serial killer in "Silence"; a homosexual accused of conspiracy in "JFK"; and the removal from the movie version of "Fried Green Tomatoes" of a lesbian relationship that was in the original novel.
George Lucas was honored with the Irving G. Thalberg award for consistently high standards of film production.
Lucas got an outer-space salute from the seven astronauts aboard space shuttle Atlantis, who praised him as "an explorer in his own right."
"The imagination and ingenuity that have turned dreams into the reality of space flight are no different than those which turn ideas and inspiration into motion pictures," said shuttle commander Charles Bolden Jr.
