The line was, “Step outta line, the man come, etc.”

You must be quoting a woke version.

If Ricky Gervais was the host, I would watch the intro at least.

CODA wasn’t woke, and that’s probably why it won. The sane people in the industry got their backs up. Bill O’Reilly doesn’t have the slightest idea what he’s talking about.

I have zero interest in who wins the Oscars— unless, of course, one of my favorites should win, in which case I will be gratified. I do find the lists of nominations for best picture, and in the acting and directing categories, worth checking in my personal hunt for good films. More content is being produced than ever before. A lot of it is junk. Finding the good stuff can be a challenge. Screening mechanisms are a place to begin. I use the selection lists for major festivals for the same purpose.

I’d like to see Bill Nighy or Colin Farrell win for Best Actor. I don’t have a strong rooting interest this year on any of the other awards.

Blacks demanding to be placed at the center of every ceremony probably hasn’t helped the ratings either.

The Oscars started their downward spiral a good 30 years ago, when presenters were no longer allowed to say when opening the envelop, "And the winner is...". Instead they all had to say "And the Oscar goes to...".

Can't make the "losers" feel bad about themselves, by referring to someone as a "winner", you know.

“It is also notable that few cared.”

or even knew it happened ... hard to care for something you don’t care enough to know that it even happened ...

the last “oscars” i watched was the “Adult Film Awards” scene on “Boogie Nights”, which is BRILLIANT satire of the actual oscars ...

The downfall began when they stoped saying and the winner is and started saying the Osscar goes to IMHO.

I’ve seen Braveheart, Gladiator, Sound of Music, and Gone With the Wind. The Green Book was also pretty good. Those are the only ones I think deserved the Oscar.

I haven’t really watched the Oscars in many years as the films and people nominated were not those I was interested in. Rarely now is big budget picture that many have seen nominated for a lot of awards.

Top Gun:Maverick was the highest grossing film of 2022, very popular. If Cruise had been nominated along with others in the cast it would have been great. Might have gotten more people interested in the Oscars. But they didn’t and Films and actors nominated were rather lackluster.

The low ratings will be blamed on “global climate change” and the war in Ukraine and Donald Trump.
Zelensky will be given an honorary Oscar. It will be modified to have standing on bundles of cash.

Here is my prediction:

Hollywood is so shocked at the lack of interest in ...well, Hollywood...that they will give in and find TOP GUN, MAVERICK THE BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR.

If they do not do that...then, they are dumber than I.
