The Academy Awards: Season 57 (1985) 50% EDIT “This was supposed to have been an Academy Awards show that stressed brevity and cut down on nostalgia. It turned out to be an evening whose focus was a heartfelt tribute to James Stewart and one that offered more than the usual amount of sincerity.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 19, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 56 (1984) 25% EDIT “Although Terms of Endearment was the major winner, the overly long and frequently fatuous 56th edition of the Academy Awards was an event to view in terms of endurance.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 16, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 54 (1982) 47% EDIT “With major award winners elsewhere for various reasons, an already dull evening lapsed into long stretches of tedium.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 13, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 52 (1980) 53% EDIT “Hoffman, whose graceful tribute to Alec Guinness was one of the few redeeming moments of a turgid evening, had been critical of the [Oscars] in the past. The evening's proceedings furnished him and other critics with more than enough future ammunition.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 5, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 51 (1979) 32% EDIT “In all, this Oscar night offered a pleasing division of honors: The awards went to the films and the players that deserved them, and the tributary ovations went to two men who had certainly earned them.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 26, 2021 Full Review
