Oscar dearest

by Peter H. Brown

Historical Fiction

1987

History of the Academy Awards on its sixtieth birthday, and a compilation of the avarice and broken hearts left behind. Recounts the politics that led to the founding of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a way of battling the unions. Some strong language.
