      About Editing The Academy

      From the publisher's feed

      Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions.
