Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-06 00:00:00 Mark Smith I found this book fascinating, with all its insights into the history and infamy that is the Academy Awards. I generally enjoy watching the Oscars, although I don't always take the winners - sorry, the person who the Oscar goes to - as being the best actor/actress/movie of the year. So much politics comes into play, as this book demonstrates. This is a great book for anyone who wants to catch up on what's been happening since the Oscars came into being.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-12 00:00:00 Jose Rodriguez I've had this handy over the years. Lots of behind the scenes stories. And, yes, absolutely, the Oscars are about money (first and foremost) and marketing and politics. And on the side, some truly wonderful work is rewarded. But not very often. But don't we all have our speeches prepared anyway?
