Campaigning will continue until the Feb. 5 nominations and then resume for the final drive. The awards ceremony will be held March 2. Here's how the major races are shaping up: BEST PICTURE Best Picture: The Color Purple may well provide the Oscar that has eluded Steven Spielberg.

Others in contention are Prizzi's Honor, ion, Murphy's Train, A Chorus Line, Back to the Future, Cocoon and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Best Actor: It wasn't the best of years for male . William Hurt has attracted critical acclaim for his role as the homosexual prisoner in Kiss of the Spider Woman, and Jack Nicholson's talent was acclaimed again in Prizzi’s Honor.

The West Kootenay NEC will present an exhibit called Ted Harrison: A Retrospective beginning Sunday and running through Jan. 31. Harrison is a long-time resident of Yukon whose work has become recognized across Canada and internationally dver the past several years. Until recently, he was the head of the Art Department of F.H. Collins High School jn Whitehorse, Yukon. In 1980 he retired from teaching and now devotes his time entirely to painting and writing. Originating from the Yukon Territorial Art Gallery, this retrospective explores the full length of Harrison's career to, 1983, showing how he has dealt with the overwhelming color and immensity of Yukon. the land. into ive by stripping it of all extraneous detail has resulted in the distinctive style which is uniquely Harrison's own.

It would seem the last place in the world to fuel Harrison's colorful fantasies. Yet Harrison found his inspiration there. “I fantasized that the dark, black slag heaps were big beautiful mountains which I would some day climb. When I was offered a job in Carcross, the first things I asked was whether there were any mountains. When I found out that there were, I didn’t think twice about going. I saw brilliant skies, a wonderfully effective light on the clouds and mountains, especially in the wintertime when the snow seems to collect all of the colors. The way of life here, the spirit of the Yukon and the way it life is a big for my work.” It was 11 a.m., and he emerged from the bedroom of Wis Sessered Mulholand Dotva houte-Wi vaioey Sond 6 more sleep. He was barefoot and rumpled jeans a denim shirt. be: -] “Do I have time for a shower?” he asked absently, before abandoning the idea. Stanton is to interviews, at that hour of the morning. For almost 30 years he has quietly pursued his profession with an extraordinary skill that has made him the favorite of top directors and discriminating critics. His name always appeared well down the cast list, but his contribution to the movie never lacked intensity. The actor's status has changed. Last year, he starred in Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas, the French-German production filmed in the U.S. from a Sam Shepard script. It won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and brought Stanton rave reviews. Several critics deplored the fact he was overlooked in the Academy Award nominations. The holiday season finds Stanton in two divergent roles: as a bedraggied Christmas angel in Disney's One Magic Christmas; as the burned-out westerner in Robert Altman’s Fool for Love. SIPS COFFEE Stanton sipped steaming black coffee that day and ruminated over the new turn in his career at age 59. “I guess Paris, Texas put me on the map as an actor,” he said. “It got me more attention than any other single picture I've been in. Nastassja Kinski (who played his estranged wife) helped out my image by asking for me. Actor's status raised sg'T don’t think anyone would have thought of me in that way. “The picture was a big success in Europe, and now it's catching on in this country on cassette and cable. It didn’t get much play in the theatres. Fox was falling apart at the time, and its classics division (which released Paris, Texas) was closed down.” “In the past few years I've gotten progressively away from heavies. That's how a lot of people perceived me, and it was something I didn’t like. CANADIAN ‘Wafthe netion of Canadian director Phillip Borsos.

Asa young actor Stanton was Bronson, who helped him get his first film role in a 1956- Western, Revolt at Fort Laramie. Since then Stanton has had no slack periods.

The head of drama for the.BBC considers it a fair exchange. “There's clearly room for different dramas that aspire to different things,” said Jonathan Powell. “What we find most satisfying are Dallas, Miami Vice and Hill Street Blues. I think Miami Vice is terrific. We just don't make cop shows like that in England.” The type of programming the two nations import speaks volumes about their cultural notions of each other, the gaps in their programming mixes and their distinctly different TV heritages. Powell said Britain has its own prime-time soap operas, but they tend to follow people in small communities and lack the larger-than-life qualities of Dallas and Dynasty.

British television has its roots in the theatre, while the direct descendant of American TV is the Hollywood movie studio. “That difference in origin tells a great deal about our approach and yours to television dramatization,” said Powell, who is responsible for 250 hours a year of drama programming for the BBC. Two of those programs, for which Powell also was executive producer, had recent exposure in America. Bleak House is an eight-hour series based on Charles Dickens’ classic book on PBS’ Masterpiece Theatre. Last fall, Tender Is the Night, a six-hour adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, was on pay-cable’s Showtime, which also co-financed the venture. With production costs escalating, co-productions are becoming more the rule. Powell said BBC's artistic control is retained by maintaining greater than a 50 per cent stake. One longtime investor, Mobil Corp., the underwriter for Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! on PBS, “doesn't make us make concessions to the U.S. audiences, so we don't end up with the something that lands in the middle of the Atlantic,” Powell said. When ABC, CBS and NBC do mini-series, they believe big names attract the largest audiences.

He could have rested his reputation on his 11 years on the Supreme Court of Canada, but during that time he also produced the royal commission report that brought about medicare and led a committee that resulted in profound changes in education in Ontario. A Saskatchewan farm boy, he studied law with John Diefenbaker and later often startled the legal profession with his forward-looking rulings on the Supreme Court. Now Hall has been captured in Emmett Hall: i Radical, a biography by Dennis Gi ing. SEEK HIS ADVICE Hall, 86, lives quietly in Saskatoon although his advice ‘on issues like medicare is still sought by politicians. BOOK REVIEW Born in St-Colomban, an Irish enclave north of Montreal, he was 11 when the family moved to Saskatoon in 1910. His nickname at school was Frenchy, and he later taught French at a Saskatchewan school. One of Diefenbaker’s first acts as prime minister was to name Hall a judge in 1957, promoting him to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1962. , Hall was light-years ahead of the Supreme Court. In 1961, hé had written a judgment in Saskatchewan splitting the assets of a farm between a divorcing wife and husband on grounds the wife had earned herself an equal share. ¢ SHOCK COUNTRY ‘Rut 12 years later, the Supreme Court shocked the country with a legally impeccable ruling, based on trust law, that Irene Murdoch had no legal claim to a share of a farm in an Alberta divorce case. “While it is true that the court might not be introducing today’s politics into today's law, what it does by ignoring social and economic fact . . . is to introduce yesterday's polities into today’s law,” Hall observed of the Murdoch ruling after leaving the court. He was the only member of the Supreme Court to rule in 1967 that Steven Truscott, sentenced to be hanged at the age of 14 for the slaying of 12-year-old Lynne Harper of Clinton, Ont., in 1959, should get another trial. Gruending’s chapter on the Truscott case illuminates the sometimes questionable workings of the judicial system. “The jury returned within two hours and Truscott was pronounced guilty, with a recommendation for mercy. The judge immediately sentenced him to hang. Truscott spent the next four months on death row.” The sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. MUST CONFESS The National Parole Board requires a confession before it will parole anyone, and Truscott always denied his guilt. “Because he wouldn't confess, they wouldn't parole him,” Hall told Gruending. “Now this has been a policy and . . . I think it’s a bunch of nonsense. I don’t know what the advantage would be of somebody who felt themselves innocent to confess just to.get.out, to_label himself a murderer when he wasn't one.” The board still requires a confession before it will parole anyone. In Truscott’s case, the federal cabinet moved to have him paroled. He was released in 1969 under board supervision and now lives under an assumed name. Gruending notes that only three Supreme Court justices came from working class backgrounds in the first century of the court's existence, and Hall was one of them. The biography is right up to date on issues such as extra-billing by doctors and full funding of separate schools in Ontario. And it is a clear, concise and heartening portrait of a great man, a liberal ray of sunshine in the grey Canadian Establishment. (Emmett Hall: Establishment Radical, by Dennis Gruending.

Bergman beauty lives on BEVERLY HILLS CALIF. (AP) — She has raven hair and a strong profile, and when her eyes sparkle and she smiles, there can be no doubt that Isabella Rossellini is Ingrid Bergman's child. Her unique beauty has al ready been displayed on fa. shion magazine covers and in perfume ads. Now she can be seen in White Nights, the new Columbia film in which she stars with Mikhail Bary shnikov and Gregory Hines. She plays the Soviet wife of Hines, an American de fector in the Soviet Union. Rossellini, daughter of the late Miss Bergman and Ital ian filmmaker Roberto Ross. ellini, came here from New York to help launch White Nights. She recalled the time when she first came to Hollywood, as a 20-year-old television journalist from Rome “It was the same as if 1 had travelled t4 the Himalayas, that's how foreign it seem. ." she said. “My first impression was seeing Los Angeles from the air, an un believable expanse of lights as far as the eye could see, like a huge diamond “And I landed right in the centre of the diamond!” Isabella Rossellini is 33 and has given up trying to hide her age, as many actresses do. She and twin sister, In grid, were born in 1952 when the sensation of their par ents’ romance was still front page news everywhere. Bergman left her husband, Peter Lindstrom, for Rosse llini at the height of her Hollywood career. Even though her parents divorced when she was five, the fa Rossellini, who and had miore children, lived across the street from Berg: man’s house. “We grew up having two homes, ours and father’s,” Rossellini said. “We played during the day at father’s house, but we slept across the street. “There were seven chil. dren, and sometimes we had to shut up while father was having meetings about his new films. It could be wild at times, with Ping-Pong and other games and a variety of dogs and cats. I adopted every stray cat I could find. “But I never thought al acting,” she remarked. “Not because I was reluctant to follow my mother. I went into other professions and was successful. “First I was a journalist in Italian television, talking to comedians and doing offbeat interviews for a show called [8 ARTERCARD.
