In his books, the author deliberately restricts himself to the category “Best Film” as the most important prize of the Oscars, which is awarded each year. In addition to the purely technical information, the publications captivate above all with the narrative presentation of the history, content and background information of the award-winning films without going into gossip and the glittering world. With the introduction of the categories Best Foreign Language Film (Best Foreign Language Film) and Best Animated Feature Film (Best Animated Feature), these respective award winners will also be presented in separate chapters.
