      Tom Shales Washington Post The program ran only about 10 minutes beyond its three-hour scheduled time. Even with the hyped pace, the sad fact remained that it was conspicuously lacking in scintillation. There was a lot of glitter and very little sparkle. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times The 1985 Oscars were more than half an hour shorter than last year's counterpart, but the new version did not seem appreciably speedier. If anything, it seemed humorless and spare, with a middle hour that was as tedious as ever. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press Even a couch potato knows real class when he sees it. And Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart have it in abundance. Their appearance on stage together Monday night was a magic moment. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Julian Barnes Observer (UK) BAFTA may take a tiny pace closer to Hollywood each year, but Hollywood takes 10 giant strides further away into bloated self-parody. If you think Julie Walters a teensy bit OTT, then study the text of Sally Field's acceptance speech. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Joe Baltake Philadelphia Daily News Somehow, last night's Oscarcast made me grateful. That catered ordeal reminded me that, thanks to Cary and Jimmy, Jack and Sir Laurence, Sally and movies, it is a wonderful life. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Barry Garron Kansas City Star Host Jack Lemmon said brevity was the soul of wit, but he was mistaken. Except for a very few moments when Steve Martin presented the Oscar for Best Art Direction, wit was nowhere to be found. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
