final Academy winners with a 1 few exceptions1 of course In fact these awards unquestionably have' some influence on the Academy voters for they axe very well publicized Anyway here is the way- my crystal ball comm up with tomorrow night's Oscar winners in the more popular categories: Film Bridge on the River Actress Joanne Woodward In Three Paces of Alec Quinnem in Supporting actress Mi- -yoshi Umeki in i Supporting actor Red Buttons in Directing David Lean for Screenplay Angry Men" Story and screenplay' Woman" the Way" These predictions are beset on various factors such as the Screen Writers honoring Angry and the Screen Directors honoring David Lean for Kwai? the NY critics voting Guimiess as top 'actor Miss Woodward's winning-' of 10 awards for Faces the various awards won by

shows and radio) re other factors My personal preferences are offered as -a reviewer -'and critics not as a columnist not feel- most columnists qualified to judge motion pictures simply because few any view: films-with complete objective analysis and because in the space of a few column sentences they- cannot do full justice to a film In short they are not qualified critics Example: From downtown gossip columnist's repent on Farewell to Hudson's performance will surprise delight and amaze you: He is superb and I think he'll beat Alec Guinness to the (Hudson of course is not an car nominee This was written prior to the nominations illustrates my point that most columnists are not astute udges of motion pictures) -My personal preferences if were an Academy voters -follow: Picture
