The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, broadcast live from both Union Station and the Dolby Theatre in L.A. on ABC, hit a staggering low.
Per Nielsen Live+Same Day preliminary national numbers, an average of 9.85 million viewers tuned in on Sunday evening to watch a more intimate and stripped-down version of the Oscars in the midst of a pandemic. That’s a 58.3%, 13.75 million viewer drop-off from last year. The Academy’s third host-less show in a row scored a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 in the fast national ratings, a 64.2% dip from 2020.
For comparison, last year’s ceremony garnered a 5.3 rating in the key demographic and 23.6 million viewers

Most of the left wingers have stopped allowing comments. They were getting savaged overwhelmingly.
That puts a lie to their claim that liberals are the vast majority.
Good response.
I have no problem with actual liberals. DemonRATs and the political Left are not liberals.
What is this Oscar thing you are talking about?
Tonight we will be watching Prime Suspect. We have a rotation that includes Midsomer Murders, Cracker, Foyles War, Rebus, Vera, Scott and Bailey, Taggart plus French mysteries like Capitaine Marleau, Murder In and Perfect Murders.
Yep! I love my black friends to the core...never saw color in them but fun smarts and witty as heck but this racial BS the BLM and global elites have forced down our throats has ruined it for everybody. I guess you can say I had scales on my eyes because I never saw them as black I never saw white yellow etc ...Now i’m beginning to feel resentful for what they’ve done to this nation and calling all of us that are not dark skin racist no matter what color you are. Blacks hitting on Asians etc. and calling us racist have ruined everything. Yes I too don’t watch too much TV anymore...feel like I I live in Africa. Every freaking commercial it’s like throwing a bone to the black community what an insult! They’re trying too hard to please the black community it feels fake and over nauseating ...I call it overkill!
We’ve burned through a lot of those. We’re doing As Time Goes By, New Tricks and Gil Mayo now.
Can't imagine why no one wants to watch depraved, self-indulgent, drugged out weirdos, lecture them about social justice, while collecting their statues for playing pretend, in films nobody has heard of?
🤔
I’m lucky enough to have been a movie-mad kid when actual stars like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were presenters, Bob Hope and Johnny Carson were hosts, and nominees were actors like John Wayne, Sophia Loren, Jack Lemmon, Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. My family never missed the Oscars in those days.
Do a computer simulation of Bob Hope hosting the Oscars and I’ll watch.
If I was a black person in America today, I’d be completely embarrassed by all the media pandering. It’s beyond ridiculous.
At least the English Patient wasn’t up for vote.
I sooo agree and Heck , I listened to the Astronaut's Q&A and Wash. Post reporter tried to stir up race and corner the black guy about his color....Nasa blocked that part of his question so he never heard it......The Press loves stirring up race every second of every day in all circumstances relentlessly....like vultures attacking red meat!
Pretty much that way in regular programming. Most families are mixed race as well.
I can’t get dissenter to work with my Brave browser.
They’ve graduated from being on the streets to the next level .........TV Commercials. Won’t be long they’ll be complaining they only get the grunt acting jobs..
Why watch? - there’s no suspense anymore - the black or minority candidate always wins.......
All good points. I’d like to say that I didn’t recognize a single movie among the various nominees, but it’s even worse than that. I never even read a single article about the Oscars at all this year, and never saw or read anything about any movies released in the last two years. LOL.
I have been noticing this for the last 3 months.
