I BEVERLY HILLS, Calif-"The Color
Purple," the drama of a rural black
woman's struggle for independence,
and "Out of Africa," a romantic adven
ture set in a British colony, scored 11
nominations apiece Wednesday for the
; 58th Academy Awards. "Prizzi's Hcnor,"
the bitter comedy of a husband-and-wife
Mafia hit team, and "Witness," a
police chase against a backdrop of
Amish farm country, followed with
eight nominations apiece.
Nominees for best actor of 1 985 were
Harrison Ford of "Witness." Jack
Nicholson of "Prizzi's Honor, James
Garner of "Murphy's Romance," Wil
Uiam Hurt of "Kiss of the Spider
i Woman," and Jon Voight of "Runaway
Train."
Whoopi Goldberg, the standup comic
making her film debut, was nominated
for best actress in "The Color Purple."
Also nominated were previous Oscar
winners Anne Bancroft for "Agnes of
God," Jessica Lange for "Sweet Dreams,"
Meryl Streep for "Out of Africa" and
Geraldine Page for "The Trip to Bounti
ful." Page, 61, has been nominated
eight times and has never won.
Don Ameche, whose film career
began in 1936, finally made the Oscar
race as supporting actor in "Cocoon" at
the age of 79. Also nominated were
Klaus Maria Brandauer for "Out of
Africa," William Hickey for "Prizzi's
Honor," Robert Loggia for "Jagged
Edge," and Eric Roberts for "Runaway
Train."
Margaret Avery and Oprah Winfrey,
both of "The Color Purple," appeared
among the nominees for supporting
actress along with Anjelica Huston,
who was directed by her father, John
Huston, in "Prizzi's Honor." Also in
the race were Amy Madigan for "Twice
in a Lifetime" and Meg Tilly for "Agnes
of God." All five are first-time nominees.
In race for best direction were two
classic filmmakers: Huston, 79, for
"Prizzi's Honor," and Akiro Kurasawa
for "Ran." The Academy voters also
nominated Argentinian Hector Babenco
for "Kiss of the Spider Woman," Aus
tralian Peter Weir for "Witness," and
American Sydney Pollack for "Out of
Africa."
The best direction category offered a
surprise: Steven Spielberg, the all-time
money-making director, was not named
for his most ambitious drama, "The
Color Purple."
