Tonight is Hollywoods' big night. The Academy Awards. The Oscars. The fashions, the films, the books?
Many of tonights movies started out as books, and someone, somewhere along the way thought 'Hey this would be a good movie.' Sometimes the movie is true to the book, barely missing a single note. Other times well, lets say the director took some creative license and strayed from the book. Either way, The Academy Awards can lead people to great books and vice-versa - Great Books can lead people to a great film.
Here are some of the great books that made their way to being great movies.
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo (6 nominations)
Hugo -- based on The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick (11 nominations)
The Help by Kathryn Stockett (4 nominations)
The Adventures of Tintin - based on The Secret of the Unicorn by Herge (1 nomination)
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (1 nomination)
