      The Academy Awards — 72nd Oscars

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Billy Crystal remains a charming emcee, but his retread of old bits does little to enliven a painfully restrained 72nd Oscars that feels even longer than its gargantuan runtime.

Even host Billy Crystal's satirical barbs at the nominees were too well rehearsed and neatly packaged to bite the way they should. Nov 9, 2019 Full Review Michael Speier Variety It was far from the humdrum affair viewers have come to expect. Thanks to many winners' genuine appreciation, Billy Crystal and a musical medley that couldn't have been classier, the night certainly had its moments. Nov 9, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post The ambiance was supposedly full of hip zip and visual sizzle, but as a piece of entertainment, the Oscar show fell miserably flat, a victim of its own ponderousness and the incredible pomposity of individual winners. Nov 9, 2019 Full Review Chris Gore Film Threat That little naked gold guy is smiling on many this evening. The ceremony wasn't any shorter this year, but it sure was less dull. Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News In short, this year's Oscar telecast was bigger, longer, uncut. But censored. The racy lyrics from "South Park" were the only words that were spared in this 4-hour-plus marathon.
