Handsome to Look At, but Sloppily Edited
As an Academy Awards fan, I was pleased to receive this book as a birthday present. My version goes through 2001 and "A Beautiful Mind." It's a handsome book -- big, heavy, but nicely designed. For each year presented, brief bios of winners and photos of each are accompanied by facts and figures, as well as a short overview of that year.

Unfortunately, it's filled with errors from beginning to end. Perhaps these were caught in later editions, but it was embarassing. As I was reading it, I kept a running list of mistakes ... and they ranged from small to large. For example, in the write-up for Katharine Hepburn's first Oscar, it claims that she "went on to win eight Academy Awards by the end of her career." While she is the all-time acting champ in terms of wins, she won four, not eight. Marie Dressler's birth date is listed as 1838 in her bio ... which would mean she was 92 when she made "Min and Bill"! The correct date, I believe, is 1868. The description for Melvyn...

a very poor effort

This book is not only poorly edited and proofread, as a previous reviewer said, it is INCREDIBLY poorly edited and proofread. Also, it is not well written. Some entries are very sparase--it seems that the writers know nothing of the movie being honored, or the actor or actress winning the trophy, or the role for which they are winning. Did these writers even bother to see "A Passage to India"? You wouldn't know it from their discussion of Peggy Ashcroft's best supporting actress win. They wonder at Dianne Wiest forgetting to thank Woody Allen when she won her first Oscar for "Hannah and Her Sisters" remarking that Wiest was a frequent star of Allen's movies--but "Hannah" was her first movie with Allen. A lot of similar nonsense throughout the book, but it seems to get worse as we get closer to the present, and the carelessness becomes more and more enfuritating.

Quite a book for film fans
I checked for the errors in the 2006 update of this book that BGK noted in his previous review. Most of the errors are corrected. I don't think the write-up on Melvyn Douglas constitutes an error. A number of people won multiple Oscars, and some duplication of copy is inevitable. The only error I've found in this edition so far is that Michael Caine's name is put in bold for ALFIE in 1966, which indicates he won best actor. As the page before it notes, Paul Scofield won for A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. But with this much factual info, it's almost impossible for something not to be wrong, and at least the authors and publisher have been willing to correct errors. The book has great pix, many in color. It doesn't replace Damien Bona's INSIDE OSCAR and INSIDE OSCAR 2 for sheer wealth of info, but it's an easily browsed reference that almost any Oscar fan would enjoy. By the way, it covers the Oscars all the way to the 2006 ceremony, when CRASH trumped BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN for best...

This richly illustrated and glorious celebration of 76 years of Oscar® includes every juicy detail and lots of photos of the films honored at the 2004 ceremony, as well as complete coverage of the festivities. As before, every Oscar year from the very beginning (1927!) is fully covered--every nominee and winner plus lots of facts, gossip, and commentary. And the text is embellished with more than 500 dramatic photographs of the winning films and artists.
