THE BATTALIOI
MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1980
Hoffman,
‘Kramer/
Oscar bets
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD — The men and
women who make American movies
gather tonight to confer the
Academy Awards, with films of men
in crisis and determined women in
transition favored to win top honors.
The betting — informally in Hol
lywood circles and by posted odds in
Las Vegas casinos — is on “Kramer
vs. Kramer,” the popular story pit
ting a single father’s developing love
for his son against a mother deter
mined to both build a new life out
side of marriage and reclaim her
child.
“Kramer” is expected to get the
Oscar for best picture and win a best
actor statuette for its star, Dustin
Hoffman, nominated three times in
the past 13 years (“The Graduate,”
“Midnight Cowboy” and “Lenny”).
The top competition comes from
“All That Jazz,” the musical based on
the flirtations with women and death
of its director, choreographer Bob
Fosse, played by Roy Scheider, up
for best actor.
Sally Field, a long flight from her
days as TV’s “Flying Nun,” is the
leading contender for the best
actress Oscar for her portrayal of a
Southern textile mill worker, stub
bornly trying to mother her family
and an infant labor union in “Norma
Rae.”
The other top picture contenders
are “Norma Rae, ” Francis Ford Cop
pola’s Vietnam epic “Apocalypse
Now,” and “Breaking Away,” a dark
horse hit about non-college youths
coping with life after high school in
an Indiana university town.
The ceremony, which has grown
from a private party into the nation’s
highest-rated TV program and is
seen by millions in other countries,
will be telecast by ABC-TV begin
ning at 9 p.m. EST, with Johnny
Carson as master of ceremonies.
Although “Kramer” has been
heaped with critical praise and hon
ors, Hoffman commented last week
that he thinks the film was “a good
movie, decent and honest,” but “it
could have been better.”
Co-star Meryl Streep is a top con
tender for best supporting actress.
Justin Henry, at 8 the youngest
performer ever nominated for a reg
ular Oscar, is up for best supporting
actor for his winning portrayal of
their son, but two Hollywood veter
ans — Melvyn Douglas, 78, and
Mickey Rooney, 60 — make the
category top heavy with sentimental
favorites.

Wanted: one set
of grandparents
United Press International
DALLAS — Paul and Debbie
Hug thought their two children were
missing out on an important child
hood relationship — so they ran a
want ad looking for grandparents.
“Grandparents Wanted,” the ad
read. “N. Dallas family with son, 4,
and daughter, 1, want to adopt
grandparents. 361-9001.”
The ad drew a few raised eyebrows
— even from the children’s real
grandparents — and 10 to 15 couples
have answered the ad to find out just
what it entails.
Mrs. Hug says the family is not
looking for live-in companionship or
for free babysitters.
“We do not want somebody to live
here, and we do not especially want
someone who would count on having
dinner with us every Sunday,” Mrs.
Hug said.
“But we want them to visit us and
the children from time to time, and
then there are the family-type holi
days. We feel they are awfully im
portant for young children and for
older people as well. ”
The job pays only in the abstract.
“There is no salary involved, but
just a mutual interest. And there will
be no babysitting either. That’s not
the kind of thing we had in mind at
all,” she said.
Mrs. Hug said her parents, who
live in California, rarely get to visit
Dallas. Her husband’s parents are
dead and his stepfather is planning to
move from Dallas to Tennessee.
