Chances are you didn’t know that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the group behind the annual Oscars celebrations, sold anything to commemorate the awards ceremonies other than a poster. That’s because they didn’t. Until now. This year they are offering an official Oscars notebook filled with insights and anecdotes from Oscar-winning members.

The Oscars Notebook

Last fall, the Academy asked Oscar-winning members from every branch of the Academy family an important question:

What do you wish someone had told you before you started working in movies?

Their answers have been reproduced, in a snapshot of their own handwriting, printed in a white hardcover Moleskine notebook providing a unique look into the Academy community.

This is the first-ever Oscar Notebook and it’s a great gift for any film buff, aspiring actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, make-up artist, producer or any movie-related career.

Besides sharing insights from well-known leading actors and directors to make-up artists and set designers, the classic Moleskine hardcover notebook also has space for you to record notes about your favorite movies or movie-related fodder.
