If you like them, I recommend it.
Do you know the youngest actor who won the Oscar?
The book is interesting for movie lovers. ( )

This book introduces about "The Oscar" with a lot of films.
There are several films I know in the story.
The Oscar is the most famous movie award all over the world.
Surprisingly, famous director, actor or actress does not always win this award.
This is because that the voters who choose the winner decide it after talking with other voters by watching a lot of varias movies in the world.
That is to say, famous person`s name has nothing to do with "The Oscar". ( )

Oscar is very famous award because it's a sign that movie-makers are making great art. But, there are many questions about Oscar. For example, who choose the movie? This book is written about the history of Oscar, why the name is 'Oscar', Oscar's affection, and so on.
I could know Oscar deeply. I recommend this book to people loving movies. ( )
