An exhibition catalogue accompanying a future Costume Institute
exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Â
Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale
University Press Â
A fascinating history of motion pictures through the lens of the
Academy Awards, the Best Picture winners, and the box-office
contenders. In Best Pick: A Journey through Film History and the
Academy Awards, John Dorney, Jessica Regan, and Tom Salinsky
provide a captivating decade-by-decade exploration of the Oscars.
For each decade, they examine the making of classic films, trends
and innovations in cinema, behind-the-scenes scandals at the awards
ceremony, and who won and why. Twenty films are reviewed in-depth,
alongside ten detailed "making-of" accounts and capsule reviews of
every single Best Picture winner in history. In addition, each Best
Picture winner is carefully scrutinized to answer the ultimate
question: "Did the Academy get it right?" Full of wonderful
stories, cogent analysis, and fascinating insights, Best Pick is a
witty and enthralling look at the people, politics, movies, and
trends that have shaped our cinematic world.

Articulating eight decades of American style through the emotive
language of clothing-from celebrated designers that established the
modern legacy of sportswear to emerging creatives shaping the
future of fashion in the United States "The design of the
exhibition and the catalog is straightforward and
compartmentalized, allowing the clothes to speak for themselves and
contain their own narratives."-Laird Borrelli-Persson, Vogue.com

vocabulary that emphasizes its expressive qualities. Stunning new
photography showcases over 100 garments from the 1940s to the
present that offer a timely new perspective on the diverse and
multifaceted nature of American fashion. The catalogue features
works that display qualities such as belonging, comfort, desire,
exuberance, fellowship, joy, nostalgia, optimism, reverence,
spontaneity, strength, and sweetness by designers, from the
pioneers who established the nation's style to the up-and-coming
creatives shaping its future. In America: A Lexicon of Fashion
