Welcome to the WBZ Book Club. Jordan here. Every time I hear that my good friend John Delo, the movie writer, has a new book. I can't wait to read it and tell you about it. His latest is called Not Even Nominated Forty Overlook co Stars of Oscar Winning Performances. John Delao is the author of seven other movie books and certainly knows his stuff when it comes to the Oscars. In this new one, he examines dozens of movies in which barely known character actors and a listers have gone
unrecognized by the Academy for deserving performances. Some of the names include Carrie Grant, Humphrey Bogart in the Treasure of Sierra Madre, Edward g. Robinson, Maggie Smith, Sidney Poitier, Mia Farrow and Rosemary's Baby, Tom Cruise and rain Man, Ryan O'Neill in Paper Moon, Michael Yorke and Cabaret, and so many more. If you love movies as much as I do, don't wait pick it up. It's called Not Even Nominated Forty Overlook co Stars of Oscar Winning Performances by John Delo.
He makes the stories behind the movies so interesting and so much fun, and that's the book Club. WBZ, Boston's news radio
