      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite Billy Crystal's strong hosting reputation, the 84th Oscars flounders under flat jokes and lifeless producing.

      Anthony Lane New Yorker I never quite worked out what [the telecast's theme] was, but it appeared to be something along the lines of, "How nice it is to go to the movies." Genius. How do they come up with these things? Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Roger Ebert RogerEbert.com Crystal was a shot in the arm, continuing with prepared sketches and zingers all evening. As probably the most popular Oscar emcee, he astonished the audience by topping himself. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle The Motion Picture Academy could have propped John Barrymore's corpse onstage and it would have been an improvement over last year. Sadly, Barrymore's corpse might have been more animated than the show itself. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Matt Wolf The Arts Desk The outpouring of affection afforded Streep sent an 11th-hour surge of energy coursing through an otherwise bland and uninspiring show. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide A night that was (to borrow from a nominated title) Extremely Long and Incredibly Dull. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Steve Persall Tampa Bay Times It was an affable, insider performance under circumstances that can easily be used as the show's alibi. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
