Reviews

"Unique...by virtue of the number and quality of its hundreds of illustrations." - Los Angeles Times Book Review "...Features a year-by-year rundown of nominations and winners, plus dozens of Oscars memories." - People "...A well-organized and well-indexed reference source on award nominations, winners, and ceremonies. Osborne's extensive coverage of the ceremonies themselves is probably his most unique contribution...a very readable and visually attractive presentation of a popular subject, as well as a solid reference source." - Choice
