      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The 70th Oscars pays touching tribute to previous winners and Billy Crystal does his best to keep things buoyant, but a predictable sweep by Titanic sinks the ceremony.

      Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Oscar was sleepy-eyed from staying up much later than his bedtime as this show went well over schedule, but it was worth the wait. When they lined up all the past Oscar winners for acting, it was exactly what we wanted. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Yeah, sure -- there were some things to enjoy... But for the rest of the excruciating three-plus-hour time, the 70th Annual Academy Awards came down to a debate as to what was the worst moment. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Slate Staff Slate This Academy Awards made for a tedious evening by any standard. The show seemed to have already taken place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away; what reached us was the light of faded stars. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Film Threat Staff Film Threat This years' extravaganza was much like Titanic, the clear winner for the night; it's over-rated and about an hour could have been cut out of it. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Alex Sandell Juicy Cerebellum The Academy had no surprises up their sleeve, and let a single movie conquer the night. A large number of the winner's speeches were rudely cut off by music... Still, the show went on longer than ever. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel While celebrity gazers might have been satisfied, the telecast itself remains a disaster of Titanic proportions. Not even this year's best picture demanded three hours and 45 minutes from its audience. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
