      The Academy Awards — 58th Oscars

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Producer Stanley Donen's nostalgic musical numbers and co-host Robin Williams' rapid-fire quips can't enliven an inert 58th Oscars full of sour feeling, with the complete shutout of The Color Purple leaving a particularly bitter aftertaste.

      Tom Shales Washington Post The Oscar show last night seemed livelier and more imaginatively produced than in recent years. Movies may not be better than ever, but this year's Oscar show was a borderline pip. Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The show regrettably returned to its old bad habits with a boring onstage production number intended to be a tribute to old movies. Instead, it was a tribute to the continuing inability of the Oscar show producers to create fun for the home viewer. Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Most of the telecast blew in like a breath of stale air. Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Marylynn Uricchio Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Hats off to Robin Williams for enlivening a good but generally routine evening marked by lackluster speeches but some great production numbers and several wonderful moments Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Diane Holloway Austin American-Statesman Monday night's Academy Awards telecast was smooth and speedy... Smooth and speedy, however, do not necessarily make for excitement. Boredom set in about an hour into the program. Apr 20, 2021 Full Review George Anderson Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Producer Stanley Donen put together a very slick show for this year's Academy Awards. What helped it most, however, was the fact that there were some emotional moments among the winners. Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
