U.S. comedy awards
NZPA Los Angeles Robin Williams dominated the United States comedy awards ceremonies by winning four awards honouring him as a stand-up comic and as a movie star for his madcap disc-jockey role in “Good Morning, Vietnam.” The movie is about a disc jockey trying to make sense or nonsense of the Vietnam war. British comedian Tracey Ullman scored as the funniest female performer of the year and her series, “The Tracey Ullman Show,” garnered her the award for funniest female performer in a leading role in a TV series. Garry Shandling, host of “Its Garry Shandling’s Show,” took the award for funniest male performer in a TV series. The awards were presented during a two-hour ABC special at the Hollywood Palladium.
