| Publisher Description: FILM AWARDS: A REFERENCE GUIDE TO US & UK FILM AWARDS is the first reference book to approach the annual awards season category by category. Unlike other books and websites, FILM AWARDS places each Oscar winner in the context of all the winners and nominees in that particular category at the major awards ceremonies - the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and the major critics' groups. See which groups nominated Leonardo DiCaprio for his performance in 'The Revenant', who he was up against, which accolades he won, and to whom he lost - all at a glance, from a quick-reference table on a single page. And to better understand why each awards season race unfolded as it did, FILM AWARDS quotes from leading film critics in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. David Lynch's 'Mulholland Dr.' is now considered a masterpiece, but was overlooked for a Best Picture Oscar nomination in 2001 after critical opinion was divided between "extraordinary" and "fascinating" on one hand and "a load of moronic and incoherent garbage" on the other. Only FILM AWARDS so thoroughly reveals the critical opinion of the day about the major awards contenders. Covering Best Picture, Director, Actress, Actor, Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor, if you are a movie fan and love the annual film awards season, FILM AWARDS is the book to have beside you when exploring the history of the Academy Awards. |
