Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Michael Schulman

funny informative medium-paced

4.0

A super fun read for Hollywood fans. I almost wish it went more in depth and was a bit longer. It worked best when the author used the Oscars as a mirror, sometimes for the world (whether WWII or the Red Scare) or for tectonic shifts in the entertainment (the transition from silent films to talkies, the transition from the studio system to the power of indie film). Overall I enjoyed it!
