I haven’t watched them in many years.
Must watch TV? Ha. I ain’t seen their trashy movies in years either. I watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence earlier and now it is Red River. A John Wayne doubleheader.
Maybe they should put the swim suit competition back into the rotation. Oh, wait, that’s a different one.
I love to see a bunch of self-serving megalomaniacs pat themselves on their backs in a circle. It means less then nothing to me. I’d rather watch paint dry.
Unless Ricky Gervais is hosting, I’ll pass.
Looks like what happened to the Miss America Pageant is happening to the Oscars. From must see TV to I didn’t even know it was on.
I last watched them in 1998.
And off into oblivion it goes.....
My favorite Ricky Gervais quote:
Ascent. It's ascent. Moving from Network TV to Youtube is a big step up.
It portends evern bigger things. With a little work and hustle they will be
on TikTok in no time at all.
I believe the last one I watched was in 2009 when The Hurt Locker won. I remember Kathleen Bigelow was seated in front of her ex-husband James Cameron whose Avatar movie had also been nominated. He leaned forward and congratulated her for the win.
Watch the ratings drop further with the move to Youtube.
For what its worth, I only watched bits and pieces over the last ten years. I used to watch more before that.
It’s hard to see how this grows the audience. Some people might watch it if it’s available on channels they already get, such as broadcast TV. But they may not even think to watch it if they have to search for it on a subscription service, and then sign up for that subscription service to watch it.
The last time I watched the Academy Awards on TV was when John Wayne won for “True Grit.”
” to I didn’t even know it was on.”
in a couple of years it WON’T be on!
Waiting until 2029?
I’d watch re-runs of even obscure old sitcoms over that drivel.
Same thing happened to Miss America and the Indy 500, though that was always a radio event for me, as never went to theater to watch on closed circuit in the heyday.
I wouldn’t think about if something was on a subscription service. I am not gong to pay for a service just to only watch one show.
I like to look at a tv guide to see whats on or just hit the next channel button on the remote. I have an antenna hooked to the television. I also use some free websites like Pluto.
Next stop; AOL?
