This three-disc boxed set is amateurish and disappointing. As an avid Oscar follower and fan, I considered this a must buy, but don't be fooled by the lack of similar titles - this just isn't worth it. The series is dogged by repetitive footage (no interviews are included, only scenes from trailers) and monotone narration that frankly drives you crazy after a few minutes. Very little insight is brought to the Oscars story, and the few bits of interesting information that are included would barely fill a 10 minute segment. At almost 10 hours, you can see how padded out it is... And, to add insult to injury, the image and sound quality is poor and the packaging shoddy! If you're interested in this subject, buy the Academy's authorised book "70 Years of the Oscar" instead...

Don't buy this trash! or you will regret like me

I can't believe a respectful studio like Image who release nice films such as "Bicycle thief", "City lights" "47 Ronins" & "Open City" would carry this low quality DVD gabbage. The contents of this DVD is unprofessional and distasteful. This DVD really cheats and insults "OSCAR" fans like us. Shame on you! Image.

Bad audio, lousy picture quality. Enough said? Do yourself a favor: do not buy this insult to dvd technology.

Video quality is so bad ( no star )that you wonder why they put it on DVD? Story is not much better. If you like tabloid type of gossip,it may be for you. "AFI's 100 years 100 movies" is a much better choice.

Bad audio, lousy picture quality. Enough said? Do yourself a favor: do not buy this insult to dvd technology.

This THREE-DISC sets contains TEN HOURS of OSCAR history, trivia and information! In addition to a year-by-year chronicle of the Oscar CEREMONIES, there is a PHOTO GALLERY of Oscar winners and a SEARCH ENGINE! BE WARNED! This set only covers the FIRST 50 YEARS of the Oscars! This is a LOW QUALITY product that will make you wonder why somebody has not bothered to do the ACADEMY AWARDS up right! But if you want to see what happened at the Oscars BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, then this will certainly manage to at least do that!

This kind of DVD is just for Orcar Fans, because it have a lot of information. I don't like the editing, the menues, the extras (plain), etc.

Grate idea, but bad execution.

I watched it once. Not bad, but I wouldn't care to watch it over and over. If your considering it, E-mail me. Mine will probably end up for auction.I'll even pay shipping. boxman@mindless.com
