`Why, it looks like my Uncle Oscar,` exclaimed Margaret
Herrick, and so the most coveted and glamorous award in the film industry was named. Each year, with all the razzmatazz and glitter that Hollywood can muster, the famous statuettes are handed to the stars selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
All the films that have collected Oscars are described here — from Ben Hur with a staggering eleven awards, to almost forgotten movies with single Oscars for costume design or sound effects. Who would guess that the original King Kong failed to win even a single nomination . . . that Psycho and Easy Rider although nominated never won an award ... that National Velvet won two Oscars, neither for Elizabeth Taylor . . . that Ingrid Bergman has three, but Garbo none?
This unique and much-needed reference work can not only be consulted when the classics are shown on television — it will also provide endless nostalgia and entertainment for all film fans.


`A valuable handbook`
