‘Emperor’, Douglas, and Cher winners at Oscars
By Charles Lieurance
Staff Reporter and
Geoff McMurtry
Senior Editor
“It was a long ways between
there and here.”
With that acceptance for Best
Director, Bernardo Bertolucci, a
dark horse for Oscar’s hall of fame,
summed up the night during a very
unpredictable version of
Hollywood’s most revered cere
mony.
Bertolucci accepted the Best
Picture and Best Director awards
for “The Last Emperor’’ at the
Academy Awards presentation
Monday night. Bertolucci’s film
captured seven other awards in the
course of the evening.
The 60th Anniversary Academy
Awards ceremony was a symphony
of non-Hollywood influences,
completing a near sweep of the
proceedings by winning nearly
every major technical award. The
televised portion of the show began
by favoring “The Last Emperor,”
and that eccentric, foreign-bom
epic ended up claiming the major
categories.
“The Last Emperor” took Best
Picture, Best Director, Best Cine
matography, Production Design,
Sound, Editing and Costume De
sign in the Oscar ceremony. Nearly
all of the crew and cast for the film
was either from Great Britain or
China, a rarity in the cloistered his
tory of the Oscars. -
Bertolucci’s most prominent
film, “Last Tango in Paris’' caused a
maelstrom of controversy when it
was released in 1973 for its now
relatively puritanical sex scenes.
Bertolucci has remained out of the
public eye, both foreign and Ameri
can, since then.
“The Last Emperor,” a grand
styled epic in the tradition of such
British staples as “Doctor Zhivago”
and “Lawrence of Arabia,” starred
Briton Peter O’Toole as the western
influence on China to a brilliant cast
of actors from the East.
Other major award winners in
cluded Michael Douglas as Best
Actor for his portrayal as the cold,
ruthless corporate raider in “Wall
Street,” and Sean Connery, who
claimed the Best Supporting Actor
award for his role in Brian De
Palma’s “The Untouchables.” Con
nery, who was critically favored as
James Bond and for his numerous
roles in action films, received a
standing ovation for his long
awaited Oscar coup.
The biggest, and perhaps most
popular, surprise among the crowd
of 6,000 at the Los Angeles Shrine
Auditorium, was the announcement
of the award for Best Actress. The
winner was Cher for her role as the
star-crossed spinstress forced to
choose between two suitors in
“Moonstruck.” Also, the best sup
porting actress award went to stage
veteran Olympia Dukakis for her
role as Cher’s mother in the same
film.
The entire ceremony was eccen
tric, allowing such non-Hollywood
personalities as Riuichi Sakamoto,
David Byrne, Pee Wee Herman and
Little Richard to intrude upon a
ceremony usually reserved for ei
ther the Hollywood elite or the
show-biz has-been.
