The Academy Awards — 65th Oscars

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Billy Crystal's comedic routine feels exhausted in his fourth year in a row hosting during a 65th Oscars that boasts the theme of recognizing women's achievements -- without putting much effort into honoring that sentiment.

Ty Burr Entertainment Weekly 11/12/2019
Unquestionably glamorous. Socially aware. Insanely dull. The 65th Academy Awards were stodgy, upscale, and a better sleeping pill than warm milk. Go to Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times 11/12/2019
The show was determined to honor women as sanctimoniously as possible, provided it could retain the usual quota of dancing girls. And the prevailing tone of condescension was established early on. Go to Full Review Frazier Moore Associated Press 11/12/2019
The Oscar show itself seemed at odds with its own feminist theme... Neither good nor wretched, then, this year's show was best forgotten. Go to Full Review Diane Holloway Austin American-Statesman 04/12/2022
Despite Crystal's best efforts, though, the drawn-out ceremony, which finished at a record-breaking 3 hours and 32 minutes, was absolutely devoid of spunk. Warm-and-fuzzy moments notwithstanding, the show was a dud. Go to Full Review Candice Russell South Florida Sun-Sentinel 11/12/2019
Still, the deadly dull 3 1/2-hour show dragged along at a snail's crawl, providing little in the way of suspense. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
