`SCENT OF A WOMAN' BIG GOLDEN GLOBES WINNER

"Scent of a Woman" won best dramatic picture and its star, Al Pacino, won best actor Saturday night at the 50th Golden Globes. Emma Thompson won best dramatic actress for "Howards End."

The hard-bitten western "Unforgiven" earned best-director honors for Clint Eastwood and a supporting actor trophy for Gene Hackman.

The sitcom "Roseanne" won big in the TV categories, scoring victories for best comedy series and stars Roseanne Arnold and John Goodman. Best drama series went to "Northern Exposure." Regina Taylor and Sam Waterston were TV's best dramatic actress and actor, both for "I'll Fly Away."

"Scent of a Woman," also winner of the screenplay trophy for writer Bo Goldman, was a surprise winner for dramatic film, beating "The Crying Game," "A Few Good Men," "Howards End" and "Unforgiven."

"The Player," Robert Altman's searing view of today's Hollywood, triumphed in the best musical or comedy motion picture category. Tim Robbins, who played an unscrupulous film producer, was hailed as best actor in a musical or comedy.

Miranda Richardson, the carefree vacationer in Italy in "Enchanted April," won best musical or comedy film actress.

The animated feature "Aladdin" won twice: For Alan Menken's original score; and for original song - Menken and Tim Rice's "A Whole New World."

Joan Plowright, the feisty widow of "Enchanted April," won best film supporting actor and actress.

Plowright was a double winner, also named best supporting actress in a TV series or mini-series for her role in the HBO special "Stalin." That special also earned the mini-series best actor Globe for Robert Duvall.
