Graydon Carter Critiques Oscars and Reflects on Vanity Fair’s Golden Age in New Memoir

Graydon Carter, the former editor of Vanity Fair, has recently made headlines with his sharp critique of the Oscars and his insights into the magazine's golden age in his new memoir, 'When the Going Was Good'. In an interview with Page Six, Carter expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of the Oscars, describing them as less impactful than in previous years. He also commented on Meghan Markle, suggesting she appears adrift in reality.

Carter's memoir delves into his time at Vanity Fair, where he was at the helm for over two decades. The book not only celebrates the magazine's heyday but also touches on controversial events, such as Harvey Weinstein's ban from the Vanity Fair Oscars party. According to Deadline, Weinstein was banned due to his alleged behavior towards women, a decision that Carter stood firmly behind.

The Los Angeles Times and The Independent both reviewed Carter's memoir, praising his candid reflections on the media landscape and the entertainment industry. Carter's memoir not only serves as a nostalgic look back at a significant period in magazine publishing but also as a critique of how the entertainment world has evolved.
