A paltry 15.4 million viewers tuned into Sunday night’s debacle of an Oscar telecast, the second-worst in the history of a telecast that just a few years ago was attracting 30 to 40 million viewers without breaking a sweat.
For context, back in 2017, when the Oscars earned 33 million viewers and 9.1 million demo viewers in the 18-49 age group, people were freaking out over the plunge in public interest.
Well, last night, the number was less than half that 33 million… That’s how bad things are.
The left-wing Hollywood Reporter uses the word “rebound” in its ratings headline. What a joke. By any definition, this is no rebound. Sure, it’s an improvement over last year’s utterly devastating 10.4 million number, but that’s all it is. A return to 30 million-plus viewers is the only thing that would qualify as a rebound.
Before last year, no Oscar telecast in history had ever dropped below 20 million viewers. That’s how bad this 15.4 million number is.
And this is precisely what Hollywood deserves… Every facet of the entertainment business is facing this rejection from the American people, a population sick of these bubbled and hypocritical elitists lecturing and shaming us rather than entertaining us. Every award show is bottoming out in the ratings. America hates these hateful people. What’s not to hate?
And this Sunday’s Oscar telecast was one of the worst things we’ve ever seen.

Call me when it’s over.
Spider Pig ? Marvel spin offs have gone too far.
The slap NOT heard around the world................... I was really hoping for lower ratings.
Crappy movies. Crappy actors. What do you expect?
Next year it will be hosted by the ROH Wrestling crew..................
Spider Pig was already done in the Simpsons movie.................
They probably were lower until the slap.
And if I want to listen to leftist, woke, demorat talking points, I'll watch the news.
Were these the numbers before or after the slap? If these were the numbers AFTER the slap, then the true numbers were way way lower.
The rebound is a dead cat bounce, as in “I would rather watch a dead cat than the Oscars”.
No...My money is on 2 homos kissing. Bet on it!
I don’t think they care how many people watch it on tv each year. They will continue to have it because it’s all about hollywood elites congratulating other hollywood elites.
but everyone is talking about the bitch slap
Women Won Only 23% of Oscars This Year, Worst Showing in 4 Years
Hoist with their own petard.
I thought they already did that!....................
No one wins on talent anymore. It’s color and whatever the sexual deviancy dujour is.
Well heck yeah. With swag bags valued at $100k per I might even go.
It’s going to come down to computer generated characters instead of live actors...That way, they don’t have to pay dumb-azz actors millions of dollars...
