History, analyses, behind-the-scenes, reviews... everything about the Oscars through the remarkable writing of Panayiotis TimoGiannakis, the only Greek who has attended the Academy Awards 21 times!

The Oscars are not just awards. They are history, politics, aesthetics, behind-the-scenes, a clash of ideas and, foremost, cinema. In this book, Panayiotis TimoGiannakis unfolds, with knowledge and clarity, the thread of this most iconic institution of the seventh art: from its birth and transformations to how categories are judged, the delicate balances of voting, and the criteria that determine victory or defeat.

With analyses illuminating directing, performances, screenplay, editing, music, and all creative components of a film, the book serves both as a valuable guide to understanding and as a journey of love for cinema.
