The first behind-the-scenes history of the organization behind the
Academy Awards. For all the near-fanatic attention brought each
year to the Academy Awards, the organization that dispenses those
awards-the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences-has yet to
be understood. To date, no one has ever produced a thorough account
of the Academy's birth and its awkward adolescence, and the few
reports on those periods from outside have always had a glancing,
cursory quality. Yet the story of the Academy's creation and
development is a critical piece of Hollywood's history. Now that
story is finally being told. Bruce Davis, executive director of the
Academy for over twenty years, was given unprecedented access to
its archives, and the result is a revealing and compelling story of
the men and women, famous and infamous, who shaped one of the
best-known organizations in the world. Davis writes about the
Academy with as intimate a view of its workings, its awards, and
its world-famous membership. Thorough and long overdue, The Academy
and the Award fills a crucial gap in Hollywood history.
