<p> There were the richly deserving, such as Clint Eastwood's three
Oscar nominations for Unforgiven and Michelle Pfeiffer's one
for Love Field. But if there was a message in the 65th annual
Academy Awards nominations, it was that bigger movies aren't
always better. Two low-budget independent films were among the
top nomination grabbers: nine to the Merchant-Ivory drama Howards
End and six to maverick Miramax Films' mystery The Crying Game,
including Best Picture chances for each. In the crucial Best
Director category, indies snagged two nominations, including
one to Robert Altman for his savage dissection of Hollywood
duplicity in The Player. Hollywood studios spent mightily to
push a few big-budget pictures with Oscar apparently written
all over them: Warner's Malcolm X, Fox's Hoffa and TriStar's
Chaplin. But those movies got only seven nominations. Tiny Miramax's
total haul of 12 nominations easily trumped studio giants TriStar,
Universal and Fox, which had seven each.
