For best picture, the race will he among "America, America' "Cleopatra", "Lilies of the Field", "Torn Jones", I and the one I didn't mention, "How the West Was Won" .Best I director nominations went to Elia Kazan for 'America', Tony # Richardson for the English' Tom Jones", Italian Director Freder- ico Fellini for "3z", Otto Pretrri inger for "The Cardinal", and Martin Ritt for "Hud". Best ac- tor nominees are Paul Newman as "Ilud", Albert Finney ("Tom J."), Rex Harrison ("Cleopatra'I Sidney Poitier in "Lilies of the Field" and an English actor, Richard Harris in a picture that never entered m,: pointed little head, "This Sporting Life" . The same picture also won a best actress nomination for Rachel Roberts, who in real life is Mrs. Rex Harrison. Her competitors are Leslie Caron for "L -Shaped Room", Shirley MacLaine as "Irma La Douce" , Natalie Wood in "Love with a Proper Stranger;, and one that I put in the sup- porting category, Patricia Neal in "Hud". This, by the way, is only the second time that a hus- band and wife have both been nominated the same year. The first team was Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in the early 30's and they both lost out in the final round. Best supporting actors nom- inated included Nick Adams for "Twilight of Honor", Bobby Darin in "Captain Newman, M.D.", Hugh Griffith in "Torn Jones", Melvyn Douglas in "Hud", and one who I thought would creep into the best actor group, veteran director John Business and Professional Directory AMBULANCE Service CALL — S.

Top actresses in supporting roles are no less than three from "Tom Jones" (this is where 1 reallti goofed!), and this surely hasn't happened before. They are Diane Cile:ilto, Edith Evans, and Jo ee Redman, plus Marg- aret Rutherford in "The VIPs" and Lilia Skala in "Lilies of the Field" (not an American among them!). Best song; nominations went to "Call Mo Irresponsible" from "Papa's Delicate Condi- tion", "More" from "Mondo Cane", one which didn't get too much play, "So Little Time" from "55 Days at Pe- king", and the title songs from "Charade" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". And, after reading the nominations, have you noticed that two stars by the names of Taylor and Bur- ton were left, obviously, by the wayside?? Academy Award Night is April lath, when Jack Lem - mon will host proceedings from the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica. And since I had such good luck with the nominations, I'm going to stick out my neck and predict who the winners might he.

They stayed in Miami Beach soaking up the sun, and left for home a week later than planned. Their reception at London Airport was wild; I'm afraid if they ever decide to come to America to stay, this entire continent may be at war with Britain! They showed up well on their three appearances with Ed Sullivan (their last one was filmed), and their person- ality left a hugh impression on iPHONE 524-9521 Roy N. Bentley PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT P. O.

Carnival Draws arge Crowd Of Spectators and Entries BELMORE--Belmore's popu- lation more than tripled Satur- day night as scores of district residents took in the annual Bel - more ice carnival sponsored by the Belmore Arena Board. The night's activities included a demonstration by the Belmore Figure Skating club under the direction of Miss Mauna Lynn Tunney of Teeswater, costum- ed events, races and musical chairs. In the latter event his stoic Irish heart. I don't have to say anything about the impression they made on Amer- ican audiences, and not just the teenagers. At a Washington performance someone snatched a lock of drummer Ringo'shair, and she was no kid; she was a diplomat's wife! Well, I like them, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, riot since I know that Sir Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the Boston Pops, and composer Richard Rodgers like them too. They are a fad, of course, and whether or not they last remains to be seen. They are being compared to Elvis Presley, and though you think his fame has faded he is still in demand for movie after movie, and thought just as highly of as when his fame was new. This is because of the kind of guy he is, and the fact that he is sensible enough to shy away from un- favourable publicity. I hope the Beatles follow his lead. One thing that has placed them high on many lists —(the four of them used to be five, as you probably know) is that when the fifth member died and to this day, his young widow and child still receive one-fifth of all the boys' earnings. This proves it — they not only have gobs of tal- ent, and hair, but also giant - sized hearts! All the success in the world to them.
