Abstract

Schulman devotes an early chapter called "Rebels" in part to the recurring standoffs between a fierce, artistically driven young Bette Davis and an Academy already headed, Variety declared, for "the ash-can of oblivion." Culture & Critics As a film critic, I have complicated feelings about Oscar season, a baggy calendri-cal concept that now includes every month of the year, from the indie-film discoveries of the Sundance Film Festival in January to the awards voting by critics' groups in December. That same year provides one of the most salient examples of the by-now-general rule that the Best Picture Oscar seldom goes to the movie that, in retro spect, has the greatest long-term impact on the motion-picture medium.
