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.

And they deserve every bit of it, though "hate" might be too strong a word. I think many people are absolutely disgusted with them, tired of their hollow sanctimony, and not interested in watching them congratulate their overpaid selves for three hours, particularly when most of what they produce these days is moronic drivel, or preachy condescension.
Not Spider Pig. That’s just a pig.
yet there is still endless commentary from traditional media, social media and even here on Free Republic about it.
One of the lowest rated, but probably the most retweeted!
“Frankly my dear.....”
Yup. I figure that they are pretty much there as far as visuals go. Skip the humans and just let the computers do it.
The next hurdle is the computer-generated voice. It can’t sound like a machine. It needs emotion and subtle tone changes. I’ve seen a lot of progress but I don’t think it’s good enough quite yet. Once they get it down though, a good technician will be able to wring out a lot of emotion from the artificial actor.
I think it will be 100% machine-made within 10 years.
And an artificial actor can make hundreds of movies over a career spanning many decades, if that’s what people want. No aging, no going to fat. Always just as good as ever.
just think...Won’t have to put up with Sean Penn, Robert DeNiro, etc.....
And I thought they nailed it right out of the gate, first big winner was a Black, Female, Lesbian - check, check and check.
TV commercials make you think America is 70% black and 40% gay...Oops....Can we say “gay” anymore??? Should we say “queer”????
Give me the good old days with Jack Nicholson in the first row.
I guess it's O.k., it was supposed to be a big anti-Florida laugh line last night, such sophomoric imbeciles they are.
Sean Connery...Clint Eastwood....Ahhh, yes!!!!!
Next year they should advertise the violence in advance. Me, I’d tune in to watch Robert DeNiro and Alec Baldwin throw down
I didn’t even know they’d been on until I saw the headlines here today.
Hopefully they enter thru metal detectors.
They should have known this was going to happen when they signed “Da View’s” LGBTQ second string to host the stupid show.
Apparently they feel two hate filled Black women and one radical leftist White gal represent America
You nailed it. The current crop of “Americans” are braindead. Diluted by the influx of millions of uneducated, illegal alien foreign invaders.
That’s why they had the fake cuck fight.
