Peggy Siegal’s Oscar Diary
Peggy Siegal’s Oscar Diary is a vivid, insider’s chronicle of the 2012 Oscars season, weaving behind-the-scenes campaigning, red-carpet glamour, and the social machinery of awards week into a narrative of how a Best Picture winner is forged—highlighting 12 Years a Slave’s emotional campaign and Steve McQueen’s historic triumph, Gravity’s technical triumph and seven trophies, and the casting of Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Jared Leto, and Matthew McConaughey as defining stars of the year. It reveals the craft of targeting a precise emotion to move a voting bloc, the force of power players like Harvey Weinstein and Brad Pitt, and the nonstop orbit of exclusive dinners, sponsor-driven events, and fashion moments that color the race. Interwoven are Siegal’s personal moments—an eye infection, travel, and candid observations on industry rituals—culminating in a reflection on the intense pride in American cinema and a forward glance to Cannes.
