The Academy Awards — 65th Oscars

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Billy Crystal's comedic routine feels exhausted in his fourth year in a row hosting during a 65th Oscars that boasts the theme of recognizing women's achievements -- without putting much effort into honoring that sentiment.

Ty Burr Entertainment Weekly Unquestionably glamorous. Socially aware. Insanely dull. The 65th Academy Awards were stodgy, upscale, and a better sleeping pill than warm milk. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times The show was determined to honor women as sanctimoniously as possible, provided it could retain the usual quota of dancing girls. And the prevailing tone of condescension was established early on. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Frazier Moore Associated Press The Oscar show itself seemed at odds with its own feminist theme... Neither good nor wretched, then, this year's show was best forgotten. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Diane Holloway Austin American-Statesman Despite Crystal's best efforts, though, the drawn-out ceremony, which finished at a record-breaking 3 hours and 32 minutes, was absolutely devoid of spunk. Warm-and-fuzzy moments notwithstanding, the show was a dud. Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Candice Russell South Florida Sun-Sentinel Still, the deadly dull 3 1/2-hour show dragged along at a snail's crawl, providing little in the way of suspense. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Billy Crystal hosted the affair for the fourth straight year, though some of his gags seemed too inside, not very funny, and even recycled.
