‘AMADEUS,’ ‘FIELDS’ TOP GOLDEN GLOBE CHOICES

‘Amadeus,” the sumptuous film fantasia of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life, and “The Killing Fields,” the real-life story of a journalist and his interpreter, dominated the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.’s film and television nominations for the 1985 Golden Globe Awards on Monday.

The nominations are the choices of a relatively small number of journalists representing foreign publications, but are often interpreted as indications of possible Academy Award nominations, which will be revealed Feb. 6.

This year’s Golden Globes award ceremony will be held Jan. 26 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. It will be taped for later TV airing.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.’s nominations lean heavily toward the traditional and sentimental. For example, the best actress nominees represent all three of the last year’s so-called farm films--”Places in the Heart,” “Country” and “The River”-- along with two period dramas, “The Bostonians” and “Mrs. Soffel.”

The best-actor category was similarly dominated by such expected nominees as Albert Finney, F. Murray Abraham and Sam Waterston. Conspicuously nominated in their midst was Jeff Bridges, the stranded alien from “Starman.”

The best-supporting actress category also featured a study in contrasts. The nominees include 9-year-old Drew Barrymore and 77-year-old Dame Peggy Ashcroft.

Overall, the two movies with the most nominations were “Amadeus” and “The Killing Fields,” which had six each. “A Passage to India,” David Lean’s elegant re-creation of E. M. Forster’s classic novel, racked up five nominations.

The Golden Globes nominations do not parallel the Academy Awards because the Foreign Press Assn. divides both films and performances into dramatic and musical/comedy categories. Also, for the Globes, no distinction is drawn between original and adapted screenplays.
