Visually stunning." -- Library Journal, "[ 85 Years of the Oscar ] represents a separate sort of pantheon, an almost literal hall of fame that requires readers to set up shop in a sturdy chair and make sure the teapot is full, because they won't be getting up again anytime soon." -- The New York Times "But what [ 85 Years of the Oscar ] truly is, in this age of websites and databases, is something gloriously old-fashioned--a beautiful, hard-cover, painstakingly researched reference source on the Academy Awards and the classic movies they have honored.
