      The Academy Awards — 85th Oscars

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The multitalented Seth MacFarlane's appointment as Oscars host may have seemed like a surefire bet, but the edgy funnyman makes for a disappointing master of ceremonies during an 85th Oscars that is mired in distasteful jokes and misogynistic gags.

      Verne Gay Newsday [A] fascinating fiasco. Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate As a knee-jerk MacFarlane skeptic who predicted that the producers and the host would crash and burn, I found myself eating those words like so much popcorn. This was the best Oscar broadcast I can remember. Rated: A- Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Willa Paskin Salon.com The academy, an institution allegedly full of women, homosexuals and bleeding heart liberals, elected a brotastic, tux-wearing dude who probably believes ogling women is the highest form of flattery to be its emissary for the night. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences tried Family Guy humor for a while, and turned their annual self-congratulatory pat on the back into a 50/50 farce of unfunny jokes and occasional jaw-dropping decisions. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Chris Barsanti PopMatters The Academy Awards is decadent and depraved, an overwrought spectacle whose confused, junk-food emptiness is exceeded only by the Super Bowl. It will apparently always be thus, whether Seth MacFarlane is there or not. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette There may be a giant maw of a generation gap in reactions to Oscar host Seth MacFarlane. But love him or loathe him, viewers should be able to agree: That opening went on too long. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
