85 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards
Updated every five years since 1989, the latest revision of the official history of the Academy Awards is a must-read for movie buffs. Osborne’s latest look back delivers trivia, personal narratives, and more than 750 black-and-white and full-color photographs. The heavy volume offers a year-by-year account of each Oscar night, complete with extensively captioned photos from the big six categories (best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, best director, and best film) as well as a listing of the nominees and winners of every other category awarded. Recommended for most public libraries and for academic libraries supporting film studies. --Rebecca Vnuk
