Book Reviews of Inside Oscar 2
Book Review: A History of the Academy Awards or a Political Diatribe?
Summary: 2 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed the first Inside Oscar with its biting wit and humorous anecdotes. This one is more of a straightforward history minus a lot of the humourous quips and observations of the first. The late Mason Wiley is truly missed. Damien Bona also runs the risk of offending about 53% of the audience (after the 2002 election) with his subjective statements like "as if Republicans were dear hearts and gentle people" and general nasty comments about everyone from Bob Dole to George Bush (43).It's enough that we have to hear these comments from the Hollywood "elite" (Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Bill Maher, et al.) Recommended only for a read through, it's not quite as captivating as its predecessor.
