WHO Won?!?: An Irreverent Look at the Oscars: 1944-1952 (Volume 2)

If you’ve ever wondered why the Oscars seem to go to the wrong movies, WHO Won?!? is the book for you. Beginning with the first Oscar ceremony, Robert James looks at all the major categories, slashing and burning his way through the bad, praising the good, and offering the best for your consideration. A comic, biting analysis of hundreds of films, WHO Won?!? is a guide to the wonderful movies you missed – and a warning against the ones you should never have seen in the first place. Volume Two takes us into the dark of film noir and the more mature movies of the late Forties, as well as the first fracturing of the studio system from the attacks of television, the blacklist, ungrateful movie stars, and men in black robes who hate Hollywood.
