Jon Hamm finally wins first Emmy for ‘Mad Men’ LOS ANGELES - In the final episode of “Mad Men,” Don Draper appears to have come up with the perfect ad for Coca-Cola.

On Sunday, actor Jon Hamm -- who has won raves for his portrayal of the seductive, mysterious Draper for eight years -- finally got his perfect ending when he won his first Emmy, for best actor in a drama. “It’s incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here,” Hamm said after receiving a standing ovation from the audience at the 67th Emmys. He thanked his co-stars, the AMC cable network, and others before saying: “Thank you to everyone who watched the show.” Hamm, 44, toiled in near-obscurity for years in bit parts on television shows -- and as a waiter to make ends meet -- before his lucky strike with “Mad Men.” His work on the retro-cool hit show about the bed-hopping lives of a group of 1960s advertising men -- and a few women -- in New York has made him an international sex symbol. With slicked-back dark hair, fitted suits and a deep voice, Hamm created an indelible character -- an anti-hero raised in a brothel who stole a man’s identity during the Korean War, and remade himself as a Madison Avenue big shot. This was his eighth nomination for the role. “Hamm’s interpretation of Don Draper was significant because his own unique look and style made Draper sympathetic and even likable, even though he was a despicable character,” said Deborah Jaramillo, an assistant professor of television studies at Boston University. “Draper was so deeply flawed, but Hamm gave him humanity.” (afp)

pointments including “Mortdecai,” ‘’Transcendence” and “The Lone Ranger.” The audience for “The Scorch Trials” was 63 percent below the age of 25, according to Fox, while 89 percent of the audience for “Black Mass” was over 25, according to Warner Bros. The draw for “Black Mass” was Depp’s icy performance as Bulger, which has garnered better reviews for the actor and some Oscar buzz. Jeff Goldstein, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., said that 55 percent of the audience said in exit polls that Depp was their reason for seeing the movie, which features an ensemble including Joel Edgerton and Benedict Cumberbatch. A diverse cast leading to a diverse audience was the key for “Scorch Trials,” said Chris Aronson, head of
domestic distribution for Fox. Wes Ball’s adaptation of James Dashner’s young-adult novel stars Dylan O’Brien, Ki Hong Lee and Kaya Scodelario. More than half of its audience was made up of minorities. It also performed well abroad, earning $43.3 million internationally. But North American theaters had the distinct feel of fall, with a crowded slate of well-reviewed films — some of them awards hopefuls — opening in more limited release and hoping to build strong word of mouth for longer runs at the multiplex. Universal’s 3-D mountaineering thriller “Everest,” starring Josh Brolin and Jason Clarke, opened with $7.6 million, playing only on 545 IMAX and large-format screens. It expands wide next weekend.

‘Maze Runner’ sequel outpaces ‘Black Mass’ at box office
NEW YORK — “The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” edged out Johnny Depp’s “Black Mass” at box office, as the two films split young and old moviegoers in half on the first weekend of the fall movie season. 20th Century Fox’s sequel to “The Maze Runner” earned an estimated $30.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. While that came in slightly below the debut of the 2014 young-adult dystopian sci-fi original, it counted as a win for a movie that cost $61 million to make. Warner Bros.’ “Black Mass,” starring Johnny Depp as Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, premiered with $23.4 million. That’s a strong sum for an R-rated adult drama, and it stabilizes a bad box-office run for Depp following a string of disap-

Davis, who triumphed for her starring role as law school professor Annalise Keating in ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder,” gave an emotional speech as she accepted the honor. “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” she said. “You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.” Two of the six nominees in the category were black: as well as Davis, there was Taraji P. Henson, who plays hip-hop matriarch Cookie Lyon on Fox’s music melodrama “Empire.” But it was Davis, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role, who took the award at the 67th Emmys, television’s equivalent of the Oscars. Accepting her prize at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, the 50-year-old Davis evoked the spirit of African-American freedom fighter Harriet Tubman. As a middle-aged African-American actress, Davis has spoken often of her frustration at casting directors who are unable to see past the color of her skin. “In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful, white
women with their arms stretched out to me over that line, but I can’t seem to get there no how. I can’t seem to get over that line,” she said Sunday. “That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s.” She thanked series creator Peter Nowalk, executive producer Shonda Rhimes and others, calling them “people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black.” She also name-checked several of her black peers, including Henson, history-making Oscar winner Halle Berry and “Scandal” star Kerry Washington in her stirring speech. Later, she said she and Henson had been rooting for each other to make history. “We whispered to each other, ‘Whoever gets it, it’s great’,” Davis told reporters.

Fate of Balinese language
Speakers decline, jargon on the rise
THE DESTINY of the Balinese language is at a crossroads. The number of people who can carry on the linguistic heritage of Bali is in decline. Because of the lack of people committed to preserving the inherent wealth of the Balinese language, personalized casual jargon seems to be taking over. The hope of linguistic preservation through education has certain constraints, including teaching materials that overly centered on regional identities though the use of dialectical methods. Concern about the fate of the Balinese
language needs to become the object of our reflections. Measures taken by the Alliance for the Caring for Balinese Language (APBB) specifically by the Head of Bali Education Agency, TIA Kusuma Wardani, indicate that there is something wrong with the methods presently being used to preserve the Balinese language. The APBB strives to ensure that Balinese language, both written and oral are preserved though mandatory curriculum for elementary schools. In response to the issue of linguistic pres-
ervation, Head of the Balinese Language and Literary Studies department at Udayana University, Wayan Swardiana, urges the people of Bali to seriously evaluate policies regarding the teaching of Balinese as well as the general orientation of the inheritance process. According to Swardiana, there is currently a lack of dedication to the teaching of Balinese. Language teaching materials seem to be managed without regards to standards for the teaching of the Balinese language. “I see there is interference by the Balinese language books mafia. Language
books no longer refer to standard Balinese language but instead focus on a dialectical approach,” he criticized. Swardiana says that dialectical language teaching focuses on regional differences. “Teaching materials are not the same all over Bali. They are prepared by teachers in each county/municipality. This makes standard Balinese vulnerable to dissolution through overemphasis on regional difference,” he said. Continue to page 2 Reviewed ...
