"I feel nothing but disappointed...I was expecting to watch some essences of Academy Award show for last 30 years, but I got nothing but the shortfilm of nominated movies...
Totally different to what I expect..
If you have same expectation as me, which is just to watch the "orginal" award show and their acceptance speeches, DON'T BUY IT"

Disappointing

"This is a rip-off. The quality of the movie footage is terrible. Most of the stills they show aren't even from the movies they are talking about. Most of the red carpet footage seems to be from the 1999 awards. They even get facts wrong, such as stating that Meryl Streep won an Oscar for "Silkwood." This is just a cheap, shoddy product. Read Damien Bona's Oscar books instead. They offer great insight."

Dissapointing purchase

"I too was very dissapointed, i went into blockbuster video to see if i could find extra dvds for the dvd video game scene it, and ended up buying an academy award collection, to relive some of the reactions to stars winning their oscars and some acceptance speeces, and all i got was a recap of who won each year, i already have the oscar books, it almost seemed like they were not allowed to show the acceptance speeces, they talked about michael moore's controversial acceptance speech, but never showed a clip, the only clip they showed was very little about the man who ran across the oscar stage naked one year, adn showed very little of that was well, not that i really wanted to see it, very dissapointing, i wanted to see speeches, and stars sitting in their seats, and i got very little. They really need to come out with something better for academy award fans, they have a video cassette with stuff from the ceremony up till 1991, but nothing after that."

Waste of Money

"I was initially very excited about buying this DVD. Unfortunately, I bought the DVD before the viewer from Sacramento, CA. had posted his review. The only reviews that were posted at the time were glowing. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when I viewed the DVD. Not only is the quality of the movie footage terrible, but the quality of the audio is also very poor. There is even a statement on the back of the video that this product has not been endorsed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. I don't blame them.
This is truly a waste of money."
