Oscar Wars

 Book 72 of my 2025 Reading Challenge
read from September 2 - October 5

Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears
by Michael Schulman
published 2023

My Opinion
3 stars

I picked this up from the library after seeing it in People Magazine.

Overall, I found most of it interesting but nothing really rave-worthy.  Taking a month to read it in sections like an educational non-fiction book helped; when I first started reading it like a 'regular' book I felt bogged down with too much information.

The smallest change/biggest impact to me was when Allan Carr made the change from "And the winner is..." to "And the Oscar goes to..." to help ease competitive winner/loser feelings.
