The best book ever on the Oscars® is finally available in paperback—updated to include the 2006 winners, losers, behind-the-scenes stories, fashions, and more.

Rushed to press immediately following the 2006 Awards ceremony, this photo-packed celebration of 78 years of Oscar is the most up-to-date reference available, including every juicy detail and an array of unforgettable images from the latest prize-winning films. As before, every Oscar year from the very beginning in 1927 through the present is fully documented in words and pictures—every nominee and winner in every category, and even some of those artists who were undeservedly passed over. Expert commentary, facts, gossip, and ceremony highlights are included on every page, along with quotes from speeches and a look at “Oscar style” through the decades. Finally available in a compact and affordable paperback, the updated edition still features more than 500 beautifully reproduced photographs in color and black-and-white.
