Description
MacDonald's previous book covers all of the Academy Award- winning Best Pictures from 1927 to 2022. In his new book, Oscar Snubs, the author takes a critical look at films that deserved Oscars, but were denied them in the annual contests. It is his belief that many outstanding films have been snubbed by members of the Motion Picture Academy over the more than 95 years of the Academy's existence. In fact, many of these films, such as Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and Bradley Cooper's Maestro, have proven to be far worthier of Oscars than the films they competed against. In this volume, 52 films are presented, along with critical evaluations of their artistic merits and personal suggestions by the author about awards that these films deserved. Although the worth of any film may be based on the viewer's individual opinion, MacDonald contends that these 52 films are prime examples of filmmaking at its best.
