Praise for the previous edition: "It's gorgeous!" -- The New York Post "A must-own for any serious fan of film." --The Internet Movie Database "This terrific resource on the Academy Awards offers all things Oscar... 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. It's a four-star present for any cinephile." -- The Star-Ledger "Essential for any cineaste completist's library." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "A must-read for movie buffs" -- Booklist "For an Academy that prides itself on honoring outstanding achievements in the film industry, this book lives up to the same standard in publishing.
