HOLLYWOQOD, Cal., Dec. 2—The first breath of what passes for autumn weather in this remote territory brings on again the town’s annual attack of Academy Award blues and dithers. The big banquet honoring the selections comes off in the spring, the deadline for “candidates” is not far awpy. The academy awards “year” ranges from January 1 to December 31, and the films that have not been shown in this area during that period are out in the cold for the spring voting Another few weeks, during which the major contender yet unreleased but set this side of the deadline is “Gone With the Wind,” will tell"the tale. This offering, regardless of its critical and popular reception, will surely weigh heavily in the final verdicts: First, because it cost about $4,000,000, and there’s no balloteer in town, wholl sneeze at that dough. Second, because it'll be freshest, with all its ballyhoo, in the memory of the voters—the workers in the film industry. but Awards for “bests” in a field of competition so' varied and many-faceted as the movies are rather silly to begin with. To determine the “best performance” angle, for instance, it would be necessary to have the contenders each play the same role or a similar role. If Charles Laughton is so good, say, as “The Beachcomber,” let's see what he'd do in James Stewart's spot as “Mr. Smith,” and vice versa. Every actor, I mean, is limited by his type and role—although more frequently it happens that the role is limited by the actor. For all that, there's a likely list of candidates for top honors in both actor and actress divisions. The men sure to rate heavy consideration include Stewart, for “Mr. Smith,” Laurence Olivier for “Wuthering Heights,” Rob- 3 The Boon AuasnA.

The ladies of the town are easier to list, as fewer have had roles of a caliber to merit unusual attention Including Vivien Leigh of “Gone” as a certain contender, the field otherwise be- longs practically to Bette Davis, who has three notches in her Oscar-shooting rifle—“Dark Victory,” “Juarez” “The Old Maid.” There is Anna Neagle (an 18-carat job in “Nurse Edith Cavell”) and there's Garbo, a topper for “Ninotchka” As for the rest, I can’t see one other performance, however successful, which rep- resents anything more than competent work, pleasant person- ality, and the ability to take good direction. The other most-limelighted award is the director's. the old-timers, with one exception, have the field to them- selves., The exception is young Garson Kanin, who put up “The Great Man Votes” and “Bachelor Mother.” The old-timers, few of them strangers to award nomina- tions, are Frank Capra for “Mr. Smith,” Victor Fleming for “Gone” Ernst Lubitsch on “Ninotchka,” Leo McCarey on “Love Affair,” Michael Curtiz for “Elizabeth and Essex” and others. Edmund Goulding for “We Are Not Alone” and “Dark Victory,” John Ford for “Stagecoach” and “Drums Along the Mohawk,” and Willlam Wyler for “Wuthering Heights.” Probable winners (but I haven't seen “Gone” yet): Stewart, Davis, Capra. = Totals Savings /v Turner | Harper i Hurley and H.
