Books to Film/Adaptations

In Hollywood News, at the BookStandard (bookstandard.com), an article by Chuck Shelton looks at Oscar statistics from 1961-2004.  Shelton found that contrary to what many believe, literary acquisitions of books to film remain steady at 20%.  In this year’s Oscars, only 2 of the top 5 were book adaptations.  The adaptations to film from book were “Sideways” and “Million Dollar Baby.”  Perhaps you’ve heard of the latter book/movie?!
