Royal from page 2 ing? Is this guy bipolar or something? He tries to be Mr. Serious and Import in his movies, but outside the studio he’s supposed to be this cut-up funny guy we all know and love. You can’t have it both ways, Mork! Be funny or be seri ous. Tom Hanks did it a bit more con vincingly, and it seems the Academy doesn’t like when Jim Carrey does it, so we have no advice for you in that are na except to get out of the middle of the road. It’s Hallmark on the phone! Maybe it’s a sore spot for us because R.E.M’s “Great Beyond” wasn’t nom inated Their biggest radio hit since “Los ing My Religion” was passed up for the damn “Blame Canada” song. Now, we liked the “South Park” movie, but how can we take the Academy seriously when they nominate “Blame Canada”? Even Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger” was a better original song than that. Then again, these are the same people who passed up “GoodFellas” for “Dances With Wolves” and “Raging Bull” for “Ordi nary People.” We expect them to slip up every now and then. Just stop giv ing Jim Carrey the shaft, that’s all. Al so reciving the shaft were “Being John Malkovich” and “Fight Club”, two of the most original and entertaing films of 1999. And speaking of Shaft, has any one found Hayes yet? 1-800-WE PREVENT —
