'Gandhi' tops Oscars

By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press Writer
HOLLYWOOD(AP)-Gandhi, the
movie that no Hollywood studio wapted
to make, captured top honors in the 55th
Academy nominations Thursday,
scoring in 11 categories, while Tootsie
and box-office championE.T.were close
behind.
Jessica Lange scored a rare double
nomination: for best actress in Fran-
ces and best supporting actress in Toot-
sie. No actress had done that since
Teresa Wright in 1942.
The biography of India's Mahatma
Gandhi was nominated for best picture,
for Ben Kingsley's starring performan-
ce and for the direction of Richard At-
tenborough, who tried unsuccessfully to
sell the project to American film com-
panies. After he made the film with
English and Indian financing, Colum-
bia Pictures agreed to release it.
Tootsie, another Columbia release,
finished second-highest in nominations
with ten, followed by E.T.-The Ex-
tra-Terrestrial with nine. Both were
selected for best picture, along with
Missing and The Verdict.
Dustin Hoffman was nominated best

actor for his performance in Tootsie as
an out-of-work actor who becomes a
star when he dresses as a woman and
appears in a soap opera. Also
nominated were Kingsley, Jack Lem-
mon of Missing, Paul Newman of The
Verdict and Peter O'Toole of My
Favorite Year.
Julie Andrews also won a nomination
for switching sexes. She is a best ac-
tress contender for her masquerade as
a male cabaret singer in Victor-Vic-
toria. Also named: Miss Lange, Fran-
ces; Debra Winger, An Officer and a
Gentleman.
Still another sex change provided a
nomination as supporting actor for
John Lithgow, the footballer-turned-
female in The World According to
Garp. Others: Charles Durning, The
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; Louis
Gossett, Jr., An Officer and a Gen-
tleman; James Mason, The Verdict;
Robert Preston, Victor-Victoria.
Four of the candidates for supporting
actress were first-time nominees:
Glenn Close, The World According to
Garp; Teri Garr, Tootsie; Miss Lange,
Tootsie; Lesley Ann Warren, Vic-
tor-Victoria. Also named was Kim
Stanley for Frances; she was

nominated in 1964 as best actress in
Seance on a Wet Afternoon.
Wolfgang Petersen was something of
a surprise as nominee for his direction
of the German-made submarine movie,
Das Boot. Other directors in the run-
ning are Attenborough for Gandhi;
Steven Spielberg, E.T.; Sydney
Pollack, Tootsie; Sidney Lumet, The
Verdict.
The nominations were made by
members of the individual craft bran-
ches of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences: writers voted for
writing awards, actors for acting, etc.
All members voted for best picture in
the nominations, and all will vote in all
categories for the final awards, to be
presented April 11 at the Los Angeles
Music Center.
With the nominations nailed down,
campaigning begins immediately for
the final awards, including trade paper
ads and special screenings for those
Academy voters who have not yet
viewed the nominated films. Lyricists
Alan and Marilyn Bergman scored
three nominations for best song: "How
Do We Keep the Music Playing?" from
Best Friends; "If We Were in Love"
from Yes, Giorgio; "It Might Be You"
from Tootsie. Also named: "Eye of the
Tiger," from Rocky III; and "Up
Where We Belong," from An Officer
and a Gentleman.
Nicaragua's Alsino and the Condor
was among the nominees for foreign
language film, along with Coup de Tor-
chon (Clean Slate) France; The Flight
of the Eagle Sweden; Private Life

That's why a smart MBA in 1983 will look hard at the Diagnostics Division of
Abbott Laboratories.
WHY WOULD AN MBA
SELL DIAGNOSTICS?
BECAUSE IT'S SMART!
Diagnostics products enable health care practitioners to diagnose specific illnesses
and the effect of therapeutic drugs on those illnesses. They are a vital tool in the
field of health care; experiencing a phenomenal growth in market size every year.
A big part of the reason for that growth relates to the products that Abbott
Diagnostics has pioneered in the past five years.

When you take on diagnostics, you're entering a worldwide market
that will grow from $4 billion to $10 billion by 1990. And you'll be
entering with the undisputed industry leader.
Each year Abbott spends millions of dollars in R&D related to
diagnostic kits and instrumentation. Our advances in fluorescent
immunoassays and enzyme immunoassays has helped create an
incredible demand for these newer, taster products. What's more, the
medical care community knows Abbott for superior quality, pricing,
and product support.

If a band isn't secure enough to tread
some new turf on their debut album,
then what the hell is all this for? Art In
America is every bit as bad as Journey,
Eddie Money, Loverboy, and every
other two-bit band of little boys dying to
turn their amps up to ten and get laid.
every night. Theirs is the
moneymaking biz, and naught else.
Take the cover first. Looks sorta like
a bad copy of Roger Dean (no relation),
the spaced-out artist who has adorned
the cover of many a Yes album. Worse
yet, it's nowhere near the quality of the
works purveyed by the magazine for
which these poseurs are named-which
is actually deserving, since I'd hate to
see that fine publication demeaned any
further than it already has been.
Metaphorically, Art In America are
like a joke that is told so many times it
not only loses its appeal, but ends up
being told by the last in a long line of
recipients as something totally unakin
to what it started as. That is, they copy
the copiers. So by the time they've
established their little niche in the
musical hierarchy, it makes about as
many ripples as a speck of dust.

As could probably be guessed by the

America are in the "Progressive-Rock"'
school, studying their mentors under
microscopes but failing to catch any of'
the ideas or instrumental competence-;
that made their forefathers' con-"#

Sure, Shishonee Flynn plays the harp'
(that's string harp, mind you), which is'
kind of a progressive thing to do, but-,
when it cascades in at the beginning of
"Art In America" (never trust main--"-'

it sounds silly and trite and facilely ef-
fective and ... .
Well, there I go listing again. But'
that's about all you can do with Art In
America: list what's wrong with them,'
whom they ''borrow'' from; list every-j
song title from this album which sounds
stupid-but that's all of them!! (exam=-,
ple: "Undercover Lover," "Too Shy Ta,"
Say," "Brett & Hibby"); list influen-
ces. Even list what's good about them
I guess that says it all. -
