OSCARS ROUNDUPWhat’s in store for Ang Lee and Asian movies in the U.S.
When the Academy Awards are presented on Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Taiwanese director Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be the highest-grossing, most-nominated foreign language film that’s ever competed. With ten Oscar nods, including the prestigious best director and best picture nominations, Crouching Tiger has succeeded in winning over subtitle-shy American audiences, and smashing box office records since its U.S. release last December. |

Hip-hop producer/artist Sean Combs isn’t the only Puffy in the music world. In fact, on the surface, Japan’s PuffyAmiYumi appears to be Combs’ polar opposite — an anti-Puffy of sorts. In contrast to the Court TV ghetto superstar, PuffyAmiYumi are a cute, self-described “unit” — from their identical, trend-starting, bleached-auburn hair to the very name of their group, which merges the Tokyo duo’s names, Yumi Yoshimura and Ami Onuki, into one. And their music couldn’t be any more different: PuffyAmiYumi mixes ’60s power pop with whimsical tin-pan-alley melodicism, supercharged guitars and glittery flashes of disco and jazz.
