PUT ON ICE. ‘Rings’ director wins top award by ANTHONY BREZNICAN _THK ASSOCIATED I'RKSS ” LOS ANGELES - The Directors Guild of America saved its best for last when it came to honoring “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, giving its top award Saturday night to Peter Jackson for the sto ry’s final chapter, “The Return of the King.” In the 56 years since the guild began presenting its top honor, the winner has gone on to receive the Academy Award for best di rector all but six times. Jackson became the first film maker ever nominated for the prize three years in a row, and this is the first time he won. He spent seven years putting the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy books on film. “We live in an age where peo ple write books about nightmar ish experiences on film sets — and I didn’t have one of those — I had the most amazing time,” Jackson said. Also honored was director Mike Nichols, who took the award for TV movie direction for HBO’s two-part “Angels in America.” Nichols is a previous lifetime achievement award winner for his work on such films as “The Graduate,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” “Catch-22” and “Working Girl.” Christopher Misiano directed the TV drama series award win ner for an episode of NBC’s “The West Wing,” while Timothy M. Van Patten was recognized in the TV comedy series category for an installment of HBO’s “Sex and the City.” The guild previously nominat ed Jackson in 2002 for the first “Rings” installment, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” but gave the prize to Ron Howard for “A Beautiful Mind.” His bid last year for “The Tw o Towers” lost out to Rob Marshall for “Chicago.” Crossword ACROSS 1 Sushi delicacy 4 Wine stoppers 9 Story so far, briefly 14 Healthy retreat 15 Farewell, Yves 16 Wear away 17 Intention 18 Plastics base 19 Silent performer 20 Annual chore 23 Dunce’s perch 24 Tilt to one side 25 Talk baby talk 26 Snow mover 27 Takes aback 29 Marsh bird 30 Strong desire 31 Wound cover 32 Infamous shoe collector 34 Inert gas 35 Geek 36 Part of US PS 39 Befuddled 40 Sch. org. 43 Solemn affirmation I UIICS LUt?i> 46 Reposed 47 Slalom 48 Puccini tune 49 Disinfectant targets 50 Having one’s ship come in 54 Blunder 55 Soundtrack 56 Short jaunt 58 Look after 59 Actress Davis 60 Pipe around a corner 61 Four-door auto 62 City on the ORuhr 63' Swine pen DOWN 1 NASA partner 2 Letter from Paul 3 Broad satire 4 Raise trivial objections 5 Valhalla leader 6 Wedding token 7 Private society 8 Morose © 2004Tribune Media Services, Inc. 02/09/04 All rights reserved. 9 Post fresh troops 10 Actress Moran 11 Funny 12 LympRoid tissue 13 Trelliswork passageway 21 Ticket info 22 Least challenging 23 Secret agent 27 Peter of “Bosom Buddies” 28 Earth tone 29 Checkers side 31 Adriatic or Caspian 33 A-Team member 34 Final degree 35 And also not 36 Have 37 Grown acorn 38 Mixed 39 Associations of teams 40 Becomes dry 41 “The Treasure of Solutions , 1 Ai ll s ■n|3|s[s-3Mn|V |g|3 Is 113 BV N 3 3 slo 1 3 3 S d _0 B_ _3 ■17_o j_1 1 1 lil s__a_ j_ j_ VllT_>!. jCil 1 _o v i d|Bi s o tBBi v i s o d Bo id 3 nJBn o 3 ~nBB1; V v__a_ j_ _3 im TMTv o sMnAA inyisNn i "sJIm _o O O OWN V 3 Tpl!^ OOI ! 9N_j__N V 3 J_ 0 d ~S~B u_ il J_ _A_ _N J_ XBl^ J_ _V 3 Q ~OtH TMfT 3 I a vBy d s d 1 V I 0 [ 3 I bl ^B S 1 X I id 101 0 11 3 I 3 the Sierra Madre” co-star 42 Ques. response 45 Reporter's pay scale 46 Floral loop 48 Rubber Capital of the World 49 React to a bad pun ■51 Whit 52 _of March 53 Fork point 57 Double over Horoscopes ARIES Get the help of a good evaluator for a big purchasing decision.
