BELGRADE, Yugoslavia On the 24th night of NATO's air campaign on Yugoslavia, the Nation's Film Academy announced Saturday it has awarded its top prize to Wag the Dog, a film about an American president who fabricates a war in Albania to distract attention from a sex scandal. The academy recognized the films' stars, director and producers, and invited them to travel to Belgrade to accept the award.

Belgrade TV stations aired Wag the Dog on March 26, two days after NATO began pounding the country in punitive air raids. The movie was also shown in the cinemas last summer. (AP)
