The 18.9 appears to be an all-time low for the Oscars...
What’s an Oscars?
Good. I care nothing for a bunch of Hollyweird half-wits, harlots, homos, and hucksters. Maybe Jimmie Kimmel can cry for them?
What is the point of all those award shows. The common folk at home are supposed to watch and worship the pretenders. They have shown themselves and they are ugly.
I didn’t see it but let me guess:
Each Winner’s speech: “Thanks for the award. Trump is so evil, am I right? Am I right?”
Crowd: “HA HA.. ha ha ha ...”
Good!
How sweet it is!
political posturing + lousy movies = low ratings
Hollywood has alienated itself from the tastes, values and aspirations of the American people.
Polishing turds doesn’t seem to help these days.
Maybe they should go back to nominating movies that people actually watch.
F Hollywood and its leftist pedophiles.
Oscar Madison? Oscar the Grouch? I don’t get it.
I’ve been ignoring the self-congratulatory awards of people who play pretend for decades.
I don't know if Meryl Streep was again on it. But she is creepy, called Weinstein "God," as fake as they come.
The 18.9 appears to be an all-time low for the Oscars...
Even if the Oscars weren’t political, no one would watch them. They are a relic of the past. People just don’t like watching these awards shows anymore. Plus, a lot less people watch television, period. So the old days of getting 50 million people to watch a show like this are gone.
As expected.
I believe this is due to more than two things, but the two that come to mind are:
1. Nearly every movie, today is junk. They are either sequels of junk or remakes of junk. Hollywood chooses the artsy-fartsy films to nominate for Oscars and most people have not seen them. In the good old days when people actually saw the movies (Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, etc.) people were invested in the outcome and watched to see who won. Not anymore.
2. When you promise to insult and castigate a president that half of your potential audience supports, surprise, surprise, half your audience doesn’t show up.
The Oscars long ago ceased to be awards for film excellence and became a 3.5 hour TV show. It has been a liberal political rally since Brando sent an Indian up to blather on. Each year it becomes a bit more partisan and loses a few percent of its remaining conservative viewers. Most of them are now gone and the majority of the lost viewership is probably from movie afficionados who find the nominations unrepresentative of the films they liked.
