An Oscar For Greer Garson
ACCORDING to a radio report just picked up from America, Greer Garson has won the Academy Award for the best performance by an actress in 1942 fot her role in M-G-M-’s "Mrs. Miniver." Well, it’s nice: to be proved a true prophet these days when soothsaying is so often a tisky pastime. Reviewing the film on January 8, I said: ". .. If I now predict that Miss Garson will win an Academy Award, I think I have as much chance of being a true prophet as I had last year about Gary Cooper in. "Sergeant York!" Cooper has won the corresponding men’s award again this year tor his performance in "The Pride of the Yankees,’ a baseball story -but as you can see from the review opposite, I wouldn’t have been right about that! Walter Pidgeon is reported to have been the runner-up for this Oscar, by seven votes to five. An award for the most promising outstanding. newcomer to the screen in 1942 has been won by Teresa Wright,;. who played the heroine in "The Pride of the Yankees," the young bride in "Mrs. Miniver," and the daughter of the house in "The Little Foxes." No-other awards have yet been announced. :
