“OSCAR AWARDS
MOST APEALING
IN YEARS

By BOB THOMAS

‘ Press

LOS ANGELES — A star who has been nominated six

times without winning an Oscar, an-actor and an actress

d for their first ic roles and a writer-direc-
tor who spent 10 years trying to make his movie about the
Vietnam War are some of the elements that will make the
69th competition for the Academy Awards one of the most
interesting in recent years.

‘The winners will be announced Monday night at the Los
Angeles Music Centre and most people expect it will be an
evening of Platoon.

Oliver Stone, the writer-director who made a crusade of
bringing his vision of the Vietnam War to the screen, won
the Directors Guild award earlier this month for Platoon,
adding to other honors. Platoon is likely to repeat at the
Oscars, despite the admiration for Woody Allen's Hannah
and Her Sisters.

Curiously, Platoon can collect no Oscars for leading
performances. Both Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe,
although they shared top billing with Charlie Sheen, were
nominated for. supporting actor.

OFFERS WIDE RANGE

The race for “best performance by an actor in a leading
role” offers a wide range. Dexter Gordon the burned-out jazz
star of Round Midnight, had never acted before. As the
veteran hustler Fast Eddie Felson in The Color of Money,
Paul Newman won his seventh nomination in a film career
that dates back to 1956 but is without Oscar recognition.

William Hurt, last year's winner for Kiss of the Spider
Woman, is again in contention, this time for Children of a
Lesser God. First-time nominees are Bob Hoskins (Mona
Lisa) and James Woods (Salvador).

Two former winners are among the best-actress
nominees: Jane Fonda (The Morning After) and Sissy
Spacek (Crimes of the Heart). The others are first-time
nominees Marlee Matlin (Children of a Lesser God),
Kathleen Turner (Peggy Sue Got, Married) and Sigourney
Weaver (Aliens).

Matlin, whose hearing is impaired, had never made a
film before. A victory could make her the fourth actress to
win an Oscar in a first performance.

The ceremonies begin at 9 p.m. EST Monday, with ABC
again carrying the telecast. Gone are the days of Bob Hope
and Johnny Carson, when a single funnyman nudged the
proceedings along. This year four “participants” — Chevy
Chase, Goldie Hawn, Rodney Dangerfield and Michael Caine
— will take turas on the podium.

WINNERS BACK

For the first time since 1965, all of the acting winners
from last year — William Hurt, Geraldine Page, Don
Ameche, Anjelica Huston — will be on hand to present this
year's awards.

The producer Goldwyn faced the ever-present challenge
of keeping the show from bogging down. He said his

h of past Oscar pr showed that “the great
moments happened in the first 30 seconds of speeches.

“Usually after that, the winners start thanking their
directors, fellow actors, parents, agents and soon.”

PULP AND PAPER
MILLS DEMAND
WOOD CHIPS

From The Vancouver Province
High operating rates in B.C.'s pulp and paper mills
are creating a steady demand for wood chips, the
by-product from lumber that is

In addition to exporting chips through the industry
consortium Fibreco Export Co., Weyerhaeuser Canada
does some exporting on its own account, About one-third
of the chips it ships out goes to the U.S. and the other
two-thirds to Japan, Jarvis said.

Tony Jarrett, president of Fibreco Export, the North
Vancouver-based chip exporter, said the Interior market
is in a “balanced position” as a result of Fibreco
maintaining its offshore shipments at the same level as
last year,

Fibreco, a private company owned by a number of
sawmilling firms, does not disclose its sales figures, but
Jarrett said the company is shipping about 1‘ million
tonnes annually. This includes some shi to the

voraciously in the pulp and paper process.

However, there are no signs of a chip shortage.

In fact, the opposite appears true, particuarly on the
coast, as lumber mills step up their production rates as
well.

Industry sources say there signs of an approaching
surplus and the supply/demand imbalance on the coast
could4worsen by year-end. Production in the US.
Pacific Northwest's lumber mills is. throwing off larger
quantities of Douglas fir chips than the market can
absorb.

‘The price paid for wood chips is a varying percentage
of the market price for chip suppliers are anxious to
share in the rise in pulp prices, but find it diffieult to get
as much as they want because of the supply situation.

Supply also exceeds demand in the B.C. Interior,
according to Wayne Jarvis, fibre operations manager for
Weyerhaeuser Canada Ltd..in Kamloops..

“This is not new, bat ‘it'is more. pronouhced than
usual at present,” he’ said.

“One reason is that a lot of extra cutting in the
Cariboo to salvage beetle-infested timber is adding to the
normal volume of chips on the market.”

In the Interior, chips are measured in bone dry units
(one BDU is equal to 1,088 kilograms (2,400 Ib.) of chips
from which all the moisture has been removed). Prices in
the Interior are in the range of $50-$65 per BDU at the
sawmill, up $10-$15 from a year ago. Freight charges add
$10-$30 to the final price.

Jarrett said the export price is running at about $82
US per BDU, compared with $79.60 US a year ago. (This
is the FOB price at the company's North Vancouver
dock.),

“It's an international market price and we have to
compete with chips suppliers from other countries,” he
said.

On the coast, the unit of measurement is 200 cubic
feet in volume, sometimes called a gravity pack unit
(GPU). One BDU of chips is equivalent to approximately
1.3 GPUs.

Most coastal pulp mills are designed to handle wood
chips, of particular, species, and prices, vary, quite
substantially. Hemlock-balsam chips are fetching about
$70 per GPU now, fir chips about $65 and cedar $35.
Prices are about 25 per cent higher than a year ago, B.C.
Forest Products Ltd. said.
