Just as we at OutKick predicted, the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony tanked to unimaginable lows. The 2021 Oscars fell more than 50% year-over-year in overnight ratings, OutKick has learned. Here’s a look at the past three years:

2021: 8.9/19

2020: 18.1/33

2019: 21.6/36

Oscars haven’t been relevant since they gave Best Picture to Shakespeare in Love.
Maybe if the show was an hour long more people would watch ? You could get through all the important awards that fast.

Years ago the wife and all of her sophisticated girlfriends with dress to the nines and all meet up at the movie theater to watch the Oscars and pay 20 or 30 something dollars have a couple glasses of champagne and this was a regular occurrence for many years

Just as anecdotal evidence she could totally give a crap now

I would argue it was only women interested before and they were only interested in what the stars would wear

So people don’t want to be lectured to by woke celebrities who make movies that virtually no-one wants to see?

My gosh, who woulda thunk it?

Yet, Hollywood continues to do the same. thing. year. in. and. year. out.

Not too bright, are they?

I wonder if more people actually watch the NASCAR race at Talladega yesterday afternoon?

No one watched the movies. Why should they care about the awards? Plus who wants to be lectured about social justice du jour?

Actually this trend is just reflecting a trend in art of art for art’s sake with woke values. It is considered low class to make movies that might appeal to a large segment of the population, which is why no one watches them and they have to receive awards to encourage studios to continue making them and continuing to speak “truth” to the plebians.

The way to get rich making movies is to make everything an expense.

All they do is preach at you. They put out propaganda movies and you are supposed to be brainwashed by them.

And to get money from Deep State for services rendered.

Has any of the WuFlu so-called stimulus ended up in Hollyweird’s pockets...?

Inquiring minds want to know.

For some reason ABC and The Oscars don’t seem to care about the ratings.

Cable fees help to stave off bankruptcy.

Much more mentally healthful viewing that, than watching anything associated with the Oscars.

This was posted on a political forum I’m on. This is literally the only minute of the Oscars I’ve seen, and it makes me certain my decision to not watch was correct.

Screw Regina King (who I used to like for her work on The Boondocks), screw the directors, screw the producers, screw every last actor and actress.

Sounds like a job for our VP.

There’s an old satirical saying: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” The Academy of Motion Pictures evidently has its own version:

“The PC nonsense will continue until the ratings improve.”

Steady as she goes, Academy! Keep on doing what you’re doing!

I just realized we haven’t watched an Oscar Best Picture since 1998. Oh well.
