Well, this is it, folks: your very
last chance to see those Oscar
wannabees in action before the
big shindig Wednesday night (it
plays on your local ABC station at
9 p.mJ. While final details have yet
to be worked out for the cere
mony, it appears there will be
several stars taking the battle
weary viewer from category to
category. James Stewart and
Dudley Moore are among the
planned hosts, and hopefully
Chevy Chase wont even show his
face after his embarrassing efforts
last year.
A quick alert: "Beaches," the
story of two women's lifetime
friendship starring Bette Midler
and Barbara Hershey, closes at the
Plaza tonight, and "Bill and Ted's
Excellent Adventure" leaves the
Ram
Also, many local cinemas are
running extra matinees on Thurs
day and Friday, so dont miss out.
Oscar-nominated movies are high
lighted and, as always, especially
wonderful films are denoted by an
asterisk. For our predictions on the
Oscars, please see pages 8 and 9.
