Gary Cooper
Likely Winner
0fMouie Oscar
BY HUBBARD KEAVY

BY HUBBARD KEAVY
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 26-(P)
1t doesn't require a crystal
ball to see Gary Cooper the win
ner Of the big Academy Award
tonight, but anyone who'd try
to guess the name of the best act
ress would be climbing way out
on a limb.
Each year, the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
gives awards-gold-plated stat
uettes dubbed Oscars-for out
standing work in all movie
branches, from acting to car
looming.
It is the consensus that the
lanky fellows performance in
Sergeant York" will get a ma
jority of his fellow workers
votes. There is scarcely a dis
senting voice around town, q
survey reveals.
But as for the actress: You can
have your pick of the five NOM
mated. Bette Davis is in the
running, for "The Little Foxes"
but many feel her two previous
awards are handicap.
Most frequently mentioned are
Joan Fontaine, for Suspicion"
and Barbara Stanwyck for Ball
OF Fire" "A strong contender,
however, Is Fontaine's sister,
Olivia De Havilland, whose per-
Torrance in Hold Back the
Dawn" was very meritorious. On
the basis of personal popularity,
which will be the determining
factor with many of the 10000
odd voters, it'll be either STAN
wyck or De Havilland. Greer
Carson, named for Blossoms In
the Dust" isn't given much of a
chance.
Other actors nominated are
Cary Grant, Penny Serenade";
Walter Huston, "All That Money
Can Buy; Robert Montgomery,
Here Comes Mr.. Jordan" and
Orson Welles, "Citizen Kane"
Montgomery and Welles ap-
pear to be Cooper's toughest
competition. Welles is certain
to win couple of prizes for
Kane. He and his picture
were nominated for a high of
nine possible awards-best pic
ture, performance, direction,
screenplay, are direction, sound
recording, photography, musical
scoring and film editing.
The best picture is a tossup,
too. There is the widest division
of opinion ever. How Green
Was My Valley" and Sergeant
York" lead the field, with "Jor-
dam, Kane" and Foxes" right
behind. Other pictures nomin-
ated are Blossoms In the Dust" ,
Hold Back the Dawn" 1.-THE
Maltease Falcon" Zone Foot In
Heaven" and Suspicion"
OF course-even an amateur
prognosticator likes a loophole-
last minute voting may nose
Cooper out of first place. And,
despite her previous good record,
Davis could win again.
