ACCLAIM FOR INSIDE OSCAR "A giddy social history of our place and time...Mr. Wiley and Mr. Bona have found just the right tone for writing about this most particular of American phenomena." --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!
