The only official history of the Academy Awards and an
indispensable addition to any movie buff''s library. For the film
industry, the Academy Awards is the most celebrated and most
significant night of the year; everyone longs for the recognition
of being nominated to win a little golden statuette. For most of
us, however, even a walk down the red carpet is just a dream. 80
Years of the Oscar puts readers into those iconic plush seats for
the thrill of the Academy Awards, from the first show in 1928,
shortly after the introduction of the talking picture, to this
year''s eightieth anniversary. With hundreds of photographs and an
informative text by Hollywood insider Robert Osborne, 80 Years of
the Oscar is the official history of the Academy Awards. Organized
by year, 80 Years of the Oscar chronicles the ceremonies
themselves, as well as the accomplishments, trends, developments,
and events that occurred, both within the Academy and for the film
industry as a whole. Osborne comments on each years most important
films and shares the stories behind them. He also transports
readers into the awards show, quoting from notable acceptance
speeches and celebrity reactions, as well as regaling readers with
anecdotes from each year. All award nominees and winners are
included, with a special listing of Oscar record-holders. An
indispensable and encyclopaedic reference for the amateur and
expert alike, from the struggling actor to the film critic, this
book has been a popular favourite since its first edition was
published twenty years ago, just after the sixtieth award ceremony.
The authoritative 80 Years of the Oscar provides a depth of
coverage found nowhere else, and it is sure to please moviegoers
around the world. ILLUSTRATIONS 755 illustrations
