Race, Gender, Class & the History of the Movie Awards
SoCal is the epicenter of the entertainment industry and award season is in full swing. While many focus on the glamor and festivities, film and media historian Monica Sandler views the movie awards industry through a different lens.
In her forthcoming book, The Oscar Industry: Creative Labor, Cultural Production, and the Awards System in Media Industry, Sandler looks at how the Academy Awards have built and sustained Hollywood's class, gender and racial hierarchies. As award season takes shape, Sandler's insight into the history and development of movie awards season will broaden your perspective about this Hollywood tradition and what comes next.
