      Jack Mathews Detroit Free Press Thanks to Chariots of Fire, a feel-good movie that came along at a time when people needed something to feel good about, it was a night that ended on notes of surprise. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times Thanks largely to the fancifulness of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' voters, Monday night's Oscar presentation was the most exciting in recent years. Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post Among the emotional highlights of the evening was the presentation of a Board of Governors' honorary award to veteran actress Barbara Stanwyck... It may have been the classiest and most touching acceptance speech of the evening. Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Patrick Taggart Austin American-Statesman Whether or not the awards will be taken more seriously in the future, the ceremony last Monday night certainly had the dreariness one associates with serious events. Didn't they get those long, choreographed numbers out of their systems years ago? Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Thomas Sabulis Tampa Bay Times The Academy Awards show was a reasonably good television product. The acceptance speeches were thankfully brief and concise. Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Michael Dougan San Francisco Examiner Ordinarily, these would be the highlights of the show. But this year's crop of nominations was particularly weak. The most entertaining song on last night's program was a short number sung by Gonzo the Muppet in a Polaroid commercial. Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
