In his new book, Oscar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnubs, the author takes a critical look at films that deserved\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOscars, but were denied them in the annual contests. It is his\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebelief that many outstanding films have been snubbed by\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emembers of the Motion Picture Academy over the more than\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e95 years of the Academy's existence. In fact, many of these\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efilms, such as Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and Bradley Cooper's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaestro, have proven to be far worthier of Oscars than the films\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethey competed against. In this volume, 52 films are presented, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealong with critical evaluations of their artistic merits and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epersonal suggestions by the author about awards that these\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efilms deserved. Although the worth of any film may be based\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon the viewer's individual opinion, MacDonald contends that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethese 52 films are prime examples of filmmaking at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53376911442227,"sku":"9798893918120","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/8dwEl5z_-C9798893918120.webp?v=1779310490","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/oscar-snubs-from-city-lights-to-maestro-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
