Academy Awards: Their History and Controversies
Posted February 20, 2016 at 5:45 am by Brook Ashcraft
Join us for a black tie evening (optional) and a fascinating look at the Academy Awards.
University of Washington Scholar Lance Rhoades will be presenting clips and stills, a history of the Oscars (highlights and controversies), a preview of what to look for in 2016, and his winner predictions (90% accuracy over the past 3 years!).
Attendees will be able to fill out their own prediction forms which will be tallied the following week. The one with the most accurate predictions will win a small prize.
Lance Rhoades is a multifaceted Seattle-based scholar and was a recipient of the UW’s Excellence in Teaching award. He has presented talks throughout North America, Asia and Europe on cultural history in film.
Refreshments are courtesy of the Friends of the Library.
