| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences began handing out awards for Best Picture, it wasn't uncommon for silent films to be among the nominations. As technology improved, films like "Casablanca" and "Grand Hotel" made the cut and won Oscars. This book looks at the films considered Best Picture before 1951 and an explanation of the nomination and awarding process. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
