Oscar Wars, by The New Yorker's Michael Schulman, chronicles the remarkable, sprawling history of the Academy Awards and the personal dramas—some iconic, others never-before-revealed—that have played out on the stage and off camera. Unlike other books on the subject, each chapter takes a deep dive into a particular year, conflict, or even category as Schulman examines how the red carpet runs through contested turf, and the victors aren't always as clear as the names drawn from envelopes. Featuring a star-studded cast of some of the most powerful Hollywood players, this captivating history is a collection of revelatory tales, each representing a turning point for the Academy, for the movies, and for the culture at large. In conversation with The New York Times' Bob Morris.
Signed books will be available for purchase and refreshments will be served.
