Best picture is up for grabs tonight
The Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD - The 58th Academy Awards will be presented tonight amid a larger-than-usual collection of stars and amid expectations that the ceremonies could produce one of the annual fete's legendary surprises.
Although in the last three years the best movie winner has been predictable, this year the category has no favorite.
"Out of Africa," a romantic triangle set in the vivid landscape of colonial Africa, seems like a good middle-of-the-road choice.
But there also is strong support for "Prizi's Honor," a comedy-drama of duplicity in the Mafia underworld, and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," the prison-cell battle of wills between a monarchy and a movie-mad homosexual.
"The Color Purple," the drama of a black farm woman's lifelong struggle for self-worth, appeared to be out of the running when the film's 11 nominations did not include director
Stallones reap harvest of 6 Raspberry Awards

SANTA MONICA, Calif.
Sylvester Stallone, his wife and his brother, swept the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Retirement Awards for the worst in motion pictures.
The family's ride to the peak of Hollywood shameded was led by Stallone's movie "Rambo: First Blood, Part II", which was voted
Steven Spielberg, responsible for such box-office hits as, "E.T." and "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
But the Directors Guild award to Spielberg on March 8 indicated that he did indeed have adherents in the film community.
1985's worst film by the 170-member Golden Raspberry Award Foundation.
A split vote could result in a best-picture Oscar for "Witness," the satisfying cop chase through Pennsylvania Amish country.
The Italian Stallion took the Razies for worst actor, director and screenplay, his actress-wife Brigitte Nielsen for worst support acting and new star, and brother Frank Stallone's tune "Peace in Our Life" was voted worst song.
Tonight's gala promises to be the most star-studded in recent years, thanks to recruiting by producer Stanley Donen.
In recent years the stars in the audience were mostly presenters and nominees. Donen has remedied that by inviting past winners to sit in the audience. Among those who accepted
were Sidney Poitier, Lee Marvin,
Olivin de Havilland, Robert Duvall,
Jose Ferrer, Joan Fontaine and
Ernest Borgnine.
The acting nominees also are expected to be present, with one exception. Harrison Ford, nominated as best actor for "Witness," is filming "The Mosquito Coast" in Belize, formerly British Honduras, with Australian Peter Weir, nominee for his direction of "Witness."
Neither will Paul Newman appear in person to accept his special Oscar for "his many memorable and compelling screen performances and for his personal integrity and dedication to his craft." Newman will accept from Chicago, where he is filming "The Color of Money," an update of "The Hustler."
The other nominees for best actor are William Hurt for "Kiss of the Spider Woman," James Garner for "Murphy's Romance," Jon Voight for "Runaway Train," and Jack Nicholson for "Prizzal's Honor."
