And there will be specialty acts aplenty to break up the dull doling out of statuettes. . For instance, Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas—who also teamed last year—will sing and ’ dance their way through “It’s All Right with Us.” English imports Dana Wynter, ' Joan Collins and Angela La ns bury will warble "It’s Bully Not to Be Nominated.” Rosalind Russell and Sammy Davis Jr. have brief bits, as do > Miss Bergman, Cary (Scant, William Holden and John Wayne. ■ An added fillip i$ the appearance of Eddie Fisher and EliZa- ■ beth Taylor on the same show. They will fly in from Las Vegas, - Nev., for their stints. Debbie Reynolds had agreed to appear too, , but her movie commitments { . forced the ex-Mrs. Fisher to can-- - cel out.
