Film Awards: A Reference Guide to US & UK Film Awards Volume Two 1960-1979

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 Marlon Brando for his legendary performance in 'The Godfather', 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. Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' is now considered a masterpiece, but was overlooked for a Best Picture Oscar nomination in 1968 because at the time is was considered "a very complicated, languid film ... somewhere between hypnotic and immensely boring" and "a major achievement but] not a cinematic landmark". 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.
