Stars out tonight for Oscars; 'Rain Man' predicted to win
The envelope, please.
Tonight, movie stars will rip open a stack of envelopes announcing Oscar winners, as the filmmaking industry in Hollywood acknowledges excellence in film performance and production.
The gala has been conducted since 1928.
"Americans are addicted to the whole business of winners and losers," said Chuck Berg, associate director of film and film and director of film studies.
director or film director.
As for predictions, "Rain Man" will win as best picture. Berg said.
He said that the studio had pulled out all the stops to publicize the film and that it hadn't experienced the controversy associated with "Mississippi Burning," a movie that has unset some civil rights activists.
In addition, Berg said "Rain Man" was heavily favored because the subject matter of autism had won the sentiment of the public and the members of the Academy of Motion and Sciences, who vote for the films.
Dan Cope, manager of Dickinson Theatres, 2339 Iowa St., agreed that "Rain Man" would be the winner.
"It has that Hollywood sentimentality that is popular with the voters." he said.
Cope said that "Midnight Run," starring Robert DeNiro and James Rodin, should have been nominated
Although "Rain Man" has been popular with local moviegoers, the three top-grossing films in Lawrence this year were not nominated for best picture. Cope said, the films are "the worst of the Rabbit." "Bier," or "Die Hard."
because of the actors' excellent performances.
In the best actor category, Berg predicted that Dustin Hoffman or Gene Hackman would win. Hackman is a sentimental friend, and Bergh said voters must have, and Berg said voters might think that it was his turn to be acknowledged for his work.
Gleen Clear or Sigourney Weaver will win the best actress category, Berg said. Close was nominated for an Oscar last year for her work in "Fatal Attraction" but did not win. Berg said academy members who thought she should have won might vote for her this year.
Berg also thought roters would appreciate the dedication Weaver brought to her performance in the rostral Fossey in "Gorillas in Mist."
