**About the book:**(https://bookshop.org/a/7125/9780062859013)
The author of the _New York Times_ bestseller _Her Again: Becoming Meryl
Streep_ returns with a lively history of the Academy Awards, focusing on the
brutal battles, the starry rivalries, and the colorful behind-the-scenes
drama. _America does not have royalty. It has the Academy Awards. For nine
decades, perfectly coiffed starlets, debonair leading men, and producers with
gold in their eyes have chased the elusive Oscar. What began as an industry
banquet in 1929 has now exploded into a hallowed ceremony, complete with red
carpets, envelopes, and little gold men. But don’t be fooled by the pomp: the
Oscars, more than anything, are a battlefield, where the history of Hollywood
–and of America itself–unfolds in dramas large and small. The road to the
Oscars may be golden, but it’s paved in blood, sweat, and broken hearts._
Featuring a star-studded cast of some of the most powerful Hollywood players
of today and yesterday, as well as outsiders who stormed the palace gates,
this captivating history is a collection of revelatory tales, each
representing a turning point for the Academy, for the movies, or for the
culture at large.
