Book excerpt: FILM AWARDS: A REFERENCE GUIDE TO US & UK FILM AWARDS is the first reference book to approach the annual awards season category by category. Unlike other books and websites, FILM AWARDS places each Oscar winner in the context of all the winners and nominees in that particular category at the major awards ceremonies - the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and the major critics' groups. See which groups nominated Bette Davis for her legendary performance in 'All About Eve', who she was up against, which accolades she won, and to whom she lost - all at a glance, from a quick-reference table on a single page. And to better understand why each awards season race unfolded as it did, FILM AWARDS quotes from leading film critics in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' is now considered a masterpiece, but was overlooked for a Best Picture Oscar nomination in 1958 because at the time is was considered "clever [but] devilishly far-fetched," "too long and too slow" and merely "a psychological murder mystery." Only FILM AWARDS so thoroughly reveals the critical opinion of the day about the major awards contenders. Covering Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, if you are a movie fan and love the annual film awards season, FILM AWARDS is the book to have beside you when exploring the history of the Academy Awards.

Download or read book 50 Oscar Nights written by Dave Karger and published by Running Press Adult. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exclusive look behind the scenes of the Academy Awards as top stars and filmmakers discuss their Oscar wins and tell never-before-told tales of Hollywood's biggest night, in a collection of original interviews with Turner Classic Movies host and entertainment media journalist Dave Karger. For almost a century, movie fans have been riveted by the Academy Awards and the stars who have won Oscars. 50 Oscar Nights takes readers behind the scenes of Hollywood’s most storied awards show through new and exclusive interviews with dozens of A-list actors, filmmakers, and craftspeople spanning sixty years of the Oscars. Here these artists reflect on their winning work and recount all the details of how they got ready, how they felt when they heard their name and got up on stage to accept their award, what they wore, how the entire experience impacted their life, and more. Some interviews bring to light fun stories like why Hilary Swank decided to celebrate her Academy Award at the Astro Burger in West Hollywood, or insight into the work as Elton John explains why he was convinced he won his Best Original Song award for the wrong tune. Other interviews illuminate why for some honorees, such as Julia Roberts, John Legend, and Octavia Spencer, the day remains a life highlight to be treasured, while for Marlee Matlin, Mira Sorvino, and Barry Jenkins, complex emotions cloud what most think would be a purely celebratory moment. Filled with more than 150 photos of red-carpet moments, emotional acceptances, and after-party play, 50 Oscar Nights is both a stunning record of cinema glamour and a must-read for any movie lover. Full list of interviewees: Nicole Kidman, Elton John, Jennifer Hudson, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Barry Jenkins, Halle Berry, J. K. Simmons, Julia Roberts, John Legend, Rita Moreno, Martin Scorsese, Marlee Matlin, Dustin Hoffman, Hannah Beachler, Cameron Crowe, Mira Sorvino, Kevin O’Connell, Sally Field, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Eddie Redmayne, Lee Grant, Louis Gossett Jr., Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, Jessica Yu, Michael Douglas, Catherine Martin, Francis Ford Coppola, Allison Janney, Mel Brooks, Emma Thompson, Peter Jackson, Marcia Gay Harden, Mark Bridges, Sofia Coppola, Joel Grey, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Olivia Colman, Rob Epstein, Whoopi Goldberg, Alan Menken, Melissa Etheridge, Sissy Spacek, Keith Carradine, Estelle Parsons, Geoffrey Fletcher, Octavia Spencer, Aaron Sorkin, Meryl Streep
