[Note: This book is neither authorized nor endorsed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.] This book offers aspiring and seasoned filmmakers essential facts that need to be considered when competing for an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, Best Director, and/or Best Screenplay. Film enthusiast and author Adrian Robbe gives an honest and illuminating overview of the Oscar competition and the role that filmmakers have in it.

Divulging the cloak-and-dagger winning trends of how to successfully posture a film to be a serious competitor at the Academy Awards, the author discusses how each variable contributes to being nominated for and/or winning an Oscar. Analysis of changes in the historical, cultural, and political contexts of the Hollywood film industry and how they influence Academy membership voting for winning an Oscar are also analyzed.

This study presents relational trends for winning an Oscar for Best Picture, Director, and/or Screenplay. Identification of variables such as genre, film running time, screenplay type, number of Oscar nominations, guild awards, date of release, etc. are evaluated to determine how they contribute to a film's probability of being nominated for and/or winning an Academy Award. Analysis of changes in the historical, cultural, and political contexts of the Hollywood film industry and how they influence Academy membership voting for winning an Oscar are also analyzed.

Also, the study presents the Green-Light Factor, a method of measurement, to determine the Oscar potential a movie idea has during the green-lighting phase. Moreover, the Campaign Investment Risk Assessment Score, a unique risk assessment technique, provides a basis for making an informed decision prior to investing money in campaigning for a film nominated for Best Picture.
