      The Academy Awards — 60th Oscars

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Last Emperor sweeps the accolades while Cher's fashion steals the show, but Chevy Chase's acidic hosting style and an ongoing writer's strike contribute to the 60th Oscars feeling unscripted in the worst way.

      Barbara Hooks The Age (Australia) Chevy Chase proved an amiable, witty and satirical ringmaster, especially in the critical opening several hours when, as is the custom, most respectable gong shows dwell long and earnestly on the craft awards. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Michael White Guardian Fortunately, the evening managed to identify what the presidential primaries have so far failed to: an electable Dukakis with warmth and charisma... The awards also redeemed themselves with a splendid last hurrah for the great Billy Wilder. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Michele Greppi Atlanta Journal-Constitution The 60th Academy Awards proved to be a less-than-grand ceremony of rather small moments. Nothing happened Monday night that will have people talking years from now, not even days from now. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Tony Atherton Ottawa Citizen Except for a consummately stupid bit with Pee Wee Herman and Robo-Cop, the broadcast of 60th Academy Awards gave us what we wanted, with a few tasteful do-dads thrown here and there. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Hal Lipper Tampa Bay Times The Oscar show had too much clean humor. It needed irreverence. It needed Bette Midler. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Patrick Taggart Austin American-Statesman Is [The Last Emperor] the movie that everyone will remember from 1987? Of course not... For all that, the presentation of the 60th Annual Academy Awards was surprisingly streamlined, cleverly conceived and professionally executed entertainment. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
