Brian is a film and theatre historian from Australia with a PhD from the University of New South Wales. He is therefore qualified to confirm that Best Actress is indeed the most important category at the Academy Awards. An Oscar enthusiast, tragic and completist, the only thing that gets Brian out of Sydney's cinemas is an opportunity to fly to the other side of the world and into a Broadway or West End theatre. You can follow him on Twitter at @Brian_Lindsay72 and find his film history and awards reference books from Amazon.
