Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whiwhi te whakaaturanga i te whakaurunga rereke mai i nga whakaputanga papaho. Ko etahi o nga papaho pāpāho he nui ake te whakahe mo te whakaaturanga. I kī te kaitohutohu pouaka whakaata o te "The Washington Post" a Tom Shales i te mea he nui rawa te huihuinga ki ngā topenga mai i ngā kiriata - mai i ngā kaitono o tēnei tau, mai i ngā toa Oscar hoki ki
1929 -- he rite ki te whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata me te hikaka". Ko te kaituhi a James Poniewozik o "Time" i kii ko Stewart "he kaihauturu Oscar - i etahi wa he mea whakamiharo, engari he mea tino tikanga, ko tana mahinga i utaina ki nga poipoi-ki-te-kihi mo te wera o Colin Farrell, he aha te awhe a Cate Blanchett me te tomcat a Jack Nicholson. " Mo te whakaaturanga ake, i tuhituhi ia, "Ko te mea i riro mai i a maatau he whakaaturanga i te haurua o te waa i rite ki te whakaaturanga i tukuna e te Whare Wananga mena he patu, he tini nga waahanga. Ko te toenga o te wā, he Oscar noa iho". Ka mea a Robert Bianco, kaituhi o "USA Today", "Kua puta ake te āhua o te pō o te Rātapu i te pō nei? Ki te pērā, ka whakapae i te patu a nga kaituhi, nāna i tuku i ētahi wiki anake ki ngā kaiwhakanao ki te whakarite mō te pāohotanga ABC, ā, ka akiaki i a rātau kia iti ake te whakawhirinaki ki te kaihautū me te whakawhirinaki atu ki ngā topenga tawhito". I kite hoki ia he maha nga whakahiato kiriata i whakaiti i te mahi a Stewart hei kaihautu.
