A largely comprehensive study of just about every aspect of the Academy Awards. A smart analytical look at the Oscar process and is for more informative than many of the oversized coffee-table book takes on the subject.
Levy's book is right on the money and right that the Oscars deserve analysis. As a former staffer for Variety and editor of Film International, he is among the best-informed writers about the Oscars. - Tom O'Brien, America

For this 75th anniversary edition, Levy has updated and revised much of the information .a smart analytical look at the Oscar process and is far more informative than many of the oversized coffee-table book takes on the subject. - Variety
Some of the freshest information comes in the history section, particularly in the discussions of unions and the Academy, and the ending of studio sponsorship of the Oscar ceremony .The concluding charts listing, among other things, the most nominated films and the highest-grossing Oscar winners are welcome. - Publishers Weekly
