Behind the Oscar: The Secret History of the Academy Awards

Tracing the awards from their founding by Louis B. Mayer in 1928 to the present, Holden shows the evolution of the ceremony from a five-minute pat on the back to a six-week orgy of self-congratulation. "Marvelously entertaining, but also a serious and comprehensive inquiry". — Publishers Weekly. Photos.
