“If you can stand the hailstorm of flash bulbs and the fake sentimentality and the platitudes and the mincing elocution of the glamour queens (you ought to hear them with four martinis down the hatch) and still feel next morning that the picture business is worth the attention of one single intelligent, artistic mind, then in the picture industry you certainly belong.”
—Raymond Chandler, “Oscar Night in Hollywood,” in the March 1948 Atlantic.

On that note, don’t forget to check out Makor’s Oscar Night Party. Then go to a dance performance or lecture to cure your Hollywood hangover like a real New Yorker.
