      Critics Consensus

      Ellen DeGeneres brings her breezy affability to the 79th Oscars and director Martin Scorsese finally gets his due, but a succession of predictable winners saps this ceremony of spontaneity.

      Roger Ebert RogerEbert.com It was the most elegant and somehow gentle Oscarcast I can remember, unfolding smoothly with well-chosen words, original production ideas, and host Ellen DeGeneres finding the right mood and pace to weave it all together. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times The show was its usual overlong muddle of snappy humor, tired shtick and way too many tribute montages, though Ellen DeGeneres made a likable, funny host. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle It was an odd night for Oscar. The speeches were short, the orchestra wasn't too pushy too much of the time, and the host was hilarious, dithery and sweet; the academy should put Ellen DeGeneres on permanent retainer. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Chris Beaumont Film School Rejects Ellen Degeneres was fantastic. She was funny, kept the long show going, and has this wonderfully vibrant charisma that just leaps off the screen. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review William Arnold Seattle Post-Intelligencer The 79th Academy Awards season was a decidedly ho-hum affair, with most of the major awards going to their predicted recipients, no spectacular upset and few genuinely memorable moments. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News DeGeneres was her usual casual, relaxed self -- but most of her jokes were more worthy of her daytime show than the Oscars.
