Academy awards readalikes

Are you sad that the Oscars have come and gone? Do you find yourself wanting more, more, more, and don’t want to wait until next year’s Academy Awards? All is not lost. Not only does the Princeton Public Library own (or have on order) copies of each and every film nominated for the year’s best picture, there are a slew of books that either served as the basis for the films or are very similar in plot/subject.
