Students feel impotent as they see the world orbiting around them, and most don't think that anything they do wil 1 change anything. The system is just too large and self reproducing. Even those who think their vote matters know that the changes they want will take so long to enact and that maybe some freshman will actually be able to enjoy them.

So ifGump doesn't sweep, look for Newman (for the tribute) or Travolta (for the comeback.) Actress- They all suck: Linda Fiorentino, Jessica Lange.

Jackson, Martin Landau. A complete 180 from the above category. Therearefivequality actors; it's a toss up. IfSamorChazzgetpassed up, don'tfear. They'll be back. Supporting Actress- Dianne Wiest, Dianne Wiest. No comp. Original Screenplay- Quentin Tarantino, Quentin Tarantino. It would be an insulting sham if he gets denied. Director- Quentin Tarantino, Robert Zemeckis. Pulp is an incredible achievement, but QT is young and Zemeckis has a proven track record and he's also highly respected.

Along with her family of lump nothings, Muriel is the obsessed loser. Her problem: She enters every wedding boutique she sees, tries on dresses, and takes phony pictures of herself for her scrapbook. Muriel is played by Toni Collete, andexceptforherdreadful overbite, she tightly fits herrole. She is spunky and exciting, but she seemed to behaving more fun on screen than I was in the last half hour of the film. After watching the same storyline countlessly build upon itself, I didn't much care if she ever did get married. Muriel's Wedding is funny in an offbeat kind of way. It's not the ~alling out ofyour seat kind oflaughter, but you'll get a chuckle. The comedy gets dryer than its Australian air and the film goes overboard with its stale humor (The whole Abba soundtrack was cute for about an hour but man, 90 minutes of that crap can get annoying.) Muriel's Wedding lacks fine tuning and if it had some more creative genius and a few other quality actors, Australia might of had something.
