The Academy Awards — 82nd Oscars

What to Know

This was indeed a night that made history -- David Letterman is now no longer the worst-ever Oscars host. Co-presenters Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin proved they couldn't hit a gag with a trunkload of IEDs. Go to Full Review Johanna Schneller Globe and Mail 11/13/2019

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had the right idea when it selected two hosts for the Oscars. It just picked the two wrong men. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
