Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears

Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Micahel Schulman. As the title says, a history of the Oscars. Interesting enough when the Academy of Motion pictures began it was more of a guild, and the Oscars were a very minor part of the organization. This was all overshadowed by SAG and the Writers Guild as time went on, and the Oscars became a force of its own. Any fan of movies will find something interesting in this book. Many stories of the films that everyone thought should have won best picture but didn't, and the many personalities that were of course involved.
