Is it true he was featured
in an Academy Award®
Yes, The War Room featuring James Carville and George Stephanopoulos won an Academy Award® nomination. The War Room is an endlessly fascinating look inside the shrewdest, funniest, most sophisticated political machine ever, taking us behind the scenes of Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign — from a cold primary in New Hampshire to the victory party in Little Rock almost ten months later. At the center of The War Room are the two men who guided Clinton’s ship from the beginning: James Carville, the fiery, charismatic, expletive-spewing Cajun who manages the campaign with a mixture of Southern charm and unrelenting passion; and George Stephanopoulos, the brilliant, handsome Rhodes Scholar who, as communications director, calmly but surely mobilizes his staff to take the presidency. These two masterminds organize and execute strategies for such events as the Democratic National convention, the debates with George Bush and H. Ross Perot, and the final, nail-biting days leading up to the election itself, when it seemed less and less certain whom the voters would choose. The War Room is a compelling and enlightening adventure story about two remarkable men, and about the monumental effort and determination that is required to conduct-and win-a political campaign in the modern age.
