Emily St. James's Reviews > Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears

As a longtime Oscar head, this book was truly enjoyable! It honestly taught me things I didn't know about Oscar races I thought I knew backward and forward (particularly the La La Land/Moonlight mix-up, which I actually covered), and it gave me a ton of insight into the Academy's roots as an organization partially created to crush the early Hollywood labor movement(!). Very well done!
