Summary:
"The author of the New York Times bestseller Her Again: Becoming Meryl Streep returns with a lively
history
of the Academy Awards, focusing on the brutal battles, the starry rivalries, and the colorful behind-the-scenes drama. America does not have royalty. It has the Academy Awards. For nine decades, perfectly coiffed starlets, debonair leading men, and producers with
gold
in their eyes have chased the elusive
Oscar
. What began as an industry banquet in 1929 has now exploded into a hallowed ceremony, complete with red carpets, envelopes, and little
gold
men. But don’t be fooled by the pomp: the Oscars, more than anything, are a battlefield, where the
history
of
Hollywood
-- and of America itself -- unfolds in dramas large and small. The road to the Oscars may be golden, but it's paved in blood,
sweat
, and broken hearts."--From publisher.
