As with the preceding editions published under the title The Oscar Movies from A to Z, this book is "meant to serve as a tool for readers, providing the facts about the 600-plus feature films that have won Oscars since the awards were first introduced back in 1929."The alphabetically arranged film entries consist of the following: date of release, awards(s) won, a one- or two-sentence description of the plot, and basic filmographic information (actors, color or black and white, running time, director, and company). It is important to emphasize that the entries consist of a wide variety of films--from movies that have been widely acclaimed to those that have excelled in just one area (such as best visual effects in The Abyss and best original score in A Little Romance).
