It has the Academy Awards. For nine decades, perfectly coiffed starlets, debonair leading men, and producers with gold in their eyes have chased the elusive Oscar. What began as an industry banquet in 1929 has now exploded into a hallowed ceremony, complete with red carpets, envelopes, and little gold men. But don't be fooled by the pomp: the Oscars, more than anything, are a battlefield, where the history of Hollywood--and of America itself--unfolds in dramas large and small. The road to the Oscars may be golden, but it's paved in blood, sweat, and broken hearts. In Oscar Wars, Michael Schulman chronicles the remarkable, sprawling history of the Academy Awards and the personal dramas--some iconic, others never-before-revealed--that have played out on the stage and off camera. Unlike other books on the subject, each chapter takes a deep dive into a particular year, conflict, or even category that tells a larger story of cultural change, from Louis B. Mayer to Moonlight. Schulman examines how the red carpet runs through contested turf, and the victors aren't always as clear as the names drawn from envelopes. Caught in the crossfire are people: their thwarted ambitions, their artistic epiphanies, their messy collaborations, their dreams fulfilled or dashed. Featuring a star-studded cast of some of the most powerful Hollywood players of today and yesterday, as well as outsiders who stormed the palace gates, this captivating history is a collection of revelatory tales, each representing a turning point for the Academy, for the movies, or for the culture at large"--Dust jacket flap. 001556970 61020 $$aAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences$$xHistory. 001556970 61027 $$aAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences$$2fast 001556970 650_0 $$aAcademy Awards (Motion pictures)$$xHistory. 001556970 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$xAwards$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 001556970 650_0 $$aMotion picture industry$$zCalifornia$$zLos Angeles$$xHistory. 001556970 650_0 $$aMotion picture industry$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 001556970 650_6 $$aAcademy Awards (Cinéma)$$xHistoire. 001556970 650_6 $$aCinéma$$xIndustrie$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire. 001556970 650_6 $$aCinéma$$xPrix et récompenses$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire. 001556970 650_6 $$aCinéma$$xIndustrie$$zCalifornie$$zLos Angeles$$xHistoire. 001556970 650_7 $$aHISTORY / United States / 20th Century.$$2bisacsh 001556970 650_7 $$aHISTORY / United States / 21st Century.$$2bisacsh 001556970 650_7 $$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film / History & Criticism.$$2bisacsh 001556970 650_7 $$aMotion pictures$$xAwards$$2fast 001556970 650_7 $$aAcademy Awards (Motion pictures)$$2fast 001556970 650_7 $$aMotion picture industry$$2fast 001556970 650_7 $$aAcademy Awards (Motion pictures)$$2sears 001556970 650_7 $$aMotion picture industry$$zLos Angeles (Calif.)$$2sears 001556970 651_7 $$aUnited States$$2fast$$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 001556970 651_7 $$aCalifornia$$zLos Angeles$$2fast$$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJfWYmJkDYcpGWYVDfWxDq 001556970 655_7 $$aHistory$$2fast 001556970 852__ $$agen 001556970 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1556970$$pGLOBAL_SET 001556970 980__ $$aBIB 001556970 980__ $$aBOOK 001556970 980__ $$aNPR 001556970 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
