Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows...


The low rating has nothing to do with the “pandemic”.

It has more to do with Hollywood has become WOKE and demonizing their audience.

They have forgotten their job was to entertain, not moralize on how much better they are then all those mean Trump voters.

So it is simple, they don’t like us, we don’t like them. Guess who gets hurt more them or us?

I hope to see all award shows go back to their roots, which were usually held in a restaurant somewhere and without publicity.

The most damning thing of all is that more viewers are stuck at home...

So there’s a conscious effort afloat to not tune into this garbage.

You’d think they’d ask themselves why...

Covid has nothing to do with the decline. It is insufferable wokeness.

Didn’t watch the program, but did watch an excerpt of Brandi Carlile. Just her with an acoustic guitar, no “auto tune” or other techno crap. I enjoy listening to singers that can sing, like Sara Barellis, Adele, Pink and the ilk.

That one still irks me. That was such total BS. Even more so since Jethro Tull was never truly a metal band. Nothing like snubbing one of the 5 greatest metal albums of all time for some 70s rejects long past their prime.

Honestly, it was the best Grammy Awards I've seen in decades UNTILL ...

I was stunned that they allowed WAP and the Rayshard Brooks reenactment/mostly peaceful Wendy's Arson. Gee they left out the part where he stole one of the cops weapons and turned and fired it at the officers.

Why would anyone with an ounce of class or decency watch such obscenities when you can access full concerts of talents like Carly Simon, ELO and Rod Stewart on Youtube?

Woke entertainment fails again. Maybe they’ll figure out the “woke” are practically nonexistent.

They are now all just straight-up whores.

And all the lefty media could talk about is how women sweeping all the awards was “empowering”.

Remember when Obama “won” the Nobel Peace Prize?

Same thing.

I have yet to see any media coverage of even one person praising that smut from last night. Everybody thinks it was over the top.
Pop culture is ugly and vile and I have been avoiding it for at least 40 years. And the hypocrisy of women voluntarily behaving like that then screaming that they are nothing but sex objects and disrespected is simply breathtaking. But as usual the left wants to have it both ways; they want their smut and their feminism too.
Idiots.

"Let them wallow in their filthy smut."

I agree. Ever since Timberlake and Jackson did that phony breast exposing during half time, I've lost all interest in these so-called pop stars. Actually I started before. There music is repetitious and based on how many dancers they can get to simulate sexual acts. Not that I don't like faux sexual stimulation, but I'd rather watch real porn. EXCUSSSSSSSE ME as Steve Martin would say.

Grammys Really? Twerking your butt is entertainment and award winning? Reminds me of a senile old uncle who thinks he is still sexy and gropes anyone close. Who does that remind you of? Best Song: "I Can't Breathe" celebrating a lowlife who had 3X the amount of Fentanyl in his system to kill anyone, not to mention the other drugs found in his autopsy report.

I will say I hate these back-slapping award shows. Yes, I get to say the word hate. It is basic human emotion. Tough shit you "cancel culture" pricks.

But wouldn’t millions of people stuck at home boost TV ratings—people being starved for entertainment and all?

Exactly. Using the 'plandemic' as an excuse for drops in ratings makes no sense at all. By all rights, all of these shows should be going like gangbusters. Instead, they are being actively ignored by all real Americans.
