INSIDE OSCAR

--Vincent Canby
The New York Times
"This is the book for your film reference library, not merely because it reveals where the bodies are buried, but also because it serves as a useful sociological and aesthetic guide to the Hollywood rat race over the past six decades."
--Andrew Sarris
The Village Voice
"A grand, grotesque Hollywood party, and what a guest list!"
--Michael Musto
Saturday Review
"A fat volume of facts, trivia, trash, and gossip (perfectly fitting for the occasion)."
--Patricia Holt
San Francisco Chronicle
"Gossipy fun and a browser's delight! Everyone may know bits and pieces, but no one has ever gathered this kind of material in such a convenient and diverting format."
