For all you Oscar junkies out there, Entertainment Weekly has put together a special look at the Academy Awards which has reached its ninetieth year of presenting the most coveted prize in cinema. The issue looks back from the very beginning when the first year was simply a fifteen minute ceremony held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood and covers all the bigger and more glamorous presentations that would follow to honor the best of movie magic. What makes this issue particularly intriguing is that it reveals plenty of untold stories that went on behind the scenes of the Oscars. We have Jane Fonda and writer/director, James L. Brooks telling fascinating stories about each of the times they were nominated; a look at Luise Rainer, a premier actress in the 1930's who won back-to-back Best Actress Oscars but after all this great success, her career came to sudden end; a brief look back on Robert Opel who famously streaked during the 1974 telecast; the mania that followed the release of the 1997 Best Picture winner, "Titanic" which lead to the highest rated show in Oscar history plus much, much more.
This issue of "Entertainment Weekly" is on newsstands (remember them?) now or however you read your magazines these days. For a preview, click below:
