<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color:black">Considering its incredibly high profile, it is shocking that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the Academy Awards, has yet to be deeply explored. Mr. Davis, Executive
Director of the Academy for twenty years, tells a revealing and compelling story of the people, famous and infamous, who shaped a marginal organization that teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, into what became a juggernaut in the entertainment industry and
a major cultural institution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">While many other books on the Oscars act as yearbooks with encyclopedic coverage of every ceremony,
<i>Oscar Wars</i> is narrative-driven and selective: each of the book’s eleven chapters takes a deep dive into a particular year, category or conflict that represented a turning point for the Oscars, for Hollywood, or for the culture at large.
<i><span style="background:white">Oscar Wars</span></i><span style="background:white"> is deeply researched and supported with extensive interviews with Hollywood insiders, and features never-before-seen correspondence and documents from the Academy's Margaret
Herrick Library. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
