      Critics Consensus

      Awards season pro Neil Patrick Harris is uncharacteristically stilted during a sedate 87th Oscars that can't seem to grapple with controversy or execute a decent gag.

      Michael Idato The Age (Australia) Harris delivered a solid performance. Not his best. And not Oscar's best. But not so awful that he will be shouted from the stage. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Chuck Barney San Jose Mercury News The genial, high-energy Harris was a nimble emcee, proving he could deliver one-liners, as well as dance and sing. He didn't land all his jokes -- or puns -- but even when he didn't, the audience stuck with him. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Anna Silman Salon.com A ennui-filled four hours where the jokes fell flat and Harris looked increasingly bored and uncomfortable. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo!

Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Dave Walker Times-Picayune Harris played it like he was basically born to do it -- light on his feet working the crowd or at center stage without his pants, winkingly self-deprecating, moving-right-along when his prepared material didn't land (which was too often).
