      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Whoopi Goldberg brings polarizing raunch to a 71st Oscars that feels curdled from the outset due to controversially aggressive campaign tactics.

      Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Goldberg had some other nice moments too. But they were outnumbered by her gratuitously coarse language and one-liners, and cheap political jokes. Some of us would have applauded, but we were sitting on our hands. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Mark Caro Chicago Tribune The longest-ever Academy Awards show, which was filled with surprises and nods to the past... The 4-hour-and-5-minute telecast was both achingly slow and particularly fraught with suspense. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Slate Staff Slate The ceremony itself gave you no clue about the issues at stake, preferring to champion a more old-fashioned -- and meaningless -- concept of "heroism." Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Irish Times Staff Irish Times A soporific ceremony which dragged on for an all-too over-extended duration of more than four hours... Whoopi Goldberg, who was the compere for the evening, could not compare with Crystal's razor-sharp wit and ease with adlibbing. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
