‘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.”

ARIES Get the help of a good
evaluator for a big purchasing
decision. Don't take the time to
do the research yourself. Your
talents are needed elsewhere.

should be pretty good for
creative and artistic jobs. If
you take on a tough project and
do it well, your status will
increase.
GEMINI You should be feeling a
.little better as the day
progresses. You intuitively
will understand the best
course of action to take. Follow
a hunch, a well-founded guess,
or both. Love is your guide.
CANCER Your taste is
excellent. In fact, it may be
beyond your budget. Luckily
you’re quite talented. Or at
least you will be with a little

some study on your part,
which ought to be fascinating.
Your partner is also your guru.

quickly.

make a lot of changes. You
haven't settled into a routine
yet, but money should start
coming soon.
LIBRA After initial
trepidations, you should be
able to see the path ahead
clearly enough to increase
your speed and quickly
achieve your goal. In other
words, watch where you're
going, and when you're sure
about your direction, kick into
■ overdrive.
SCORPIO Gather information
from friends and ponder it.
After you've mulled it over for
a while, you’ll see how you can
j improve your lot.

j Don't fret if you don't ace it.
Sunshine is coming through

! your head.
CAPRICORN Using your brains
and your common sense, you
can achieve a goal. This isn't
easy, but you have a good
opportunity now, so grab it.
AQUARIUS You start out
working hard, but conditions
improve and make things
easier. If you build up head of
steam, you'll coast a lot farther.

get something that works well
for you both. Respect another
