Reel Winners: Movie Award Trivia

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Do you know which televised awards show gives a prize for "Favourite Smile"? Or which Oscar host announced that he was going to raffle off a car during the ceremony? Do you know who won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress of the 20th Century? In Gold-a-Go-Go, Richard Crouse, Reel to Real movie critic and CBC Radio's "titan of trivia," gives you the lowdown on movie awards, from eight decades of Hollywood self-congratulation to international awards to the toasts from the fringe (like The Skinnies, which celebrate actors and their skin conditions). Gold-a-Go-Go is the definitive guide to the inside scoop on movie awards.
