Benigni Shines Amid Dull 71st Oscar Show
The 71st Academy Awards aired from Los Angeles in a four hour broadcast that felt dull beyond Roberto Benigni’s exuberant appearances. He won best foreign language film and best actor, delivering quirky lines as Whoopi Goldberg struggled with routine hosting. Spielberg and Schindler’s List dominated technical categories amid a largely low-energy telecast.
