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.

Game Theory and Morality
By viewing morality through the lens of evolution and learning in strategic interactions, Hoffman, Yoeli, and Navarrete argue that many moral intuitions—such as rights and ownership, the omission–commission distinction, authentic altruism, and the prominence of categorical norms—are Nash-equilibrium outcomes shaped by coordination, signaling, and higher-order beliefs. Through the Hawk–Dove, Envelope, and Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma frameworks, they show how possession, investment, and the anticipation of others’ beliefs generate why we value what we have, why we cooperate often without reciprocation, and why some moral rules unravel under noisy information, ultimately offering a parsimonious alternative to group selection for explaining morality.
