Every year, The Academy Awards are telecast on ABC, fans watch the show and wonder what were they thinking? How could they have chosen that movie or that actor? Why wasn’t this movie nominated? The morning after, the program is dissected by viewers, critics and reviewed on all the morning talk shows. As a super fan of movies, the Oscars itself and as a person who has edited films for television, Litt took the recent pandemic to write a book about the Oscars and what some of their biggest mistakes have been the past 50 years.
Oscars Biggest Mistakes: A Super Fan’s Guide to the Academy Awards 1969-2021 is a hybrid book of sorts. He looks at the Oscars seven main categories, reviews the films, talks about the nominees, and the actual show and explains why he thinks the Academy might have made a BIG mistake.
You are invited to revisit the last 50 plus years at the Academy Awards and while reading this book, feel free to think about your own choices and discover some other mistakes.
The book is available for pre-order here.
