Don’t give a F about these liberal, snot-nosed overpaid actors or their political beliefs. I will not support them going to their movies. Hope they all eventually starve to death or end up serving me at a restaurant

I think you're right - it would seem that there should be more interest, not less. Must be some other fundamental force or shift going on.

However, I also think Red Badger is right a couple of comments below yours - they don't care. The "show" isn't about ratings, it is an expression of mutual admiration. They put it on for each other and their own egos. All of us little people are supposed to look on in awe and envy. Well, I've never watched any of their "awards" shows (aka self-aggrandizing festivals). I have seen the occasional out-take or clip when someone else has pointed it out as interesting. But watch one? Ha! I'd rather re-organize kitchen cabinets, maybe clean out the garage, take the dog for a walk... Watching their BS would come in on my list of fun things to do somewhere in the neighborhood of going to the dentist or having a physical and prostate exam, maybe even around colonoscopy level fun.

People don’t like being lectured by sniveling spoiled drug addled perverts. Who knew!

I’ve never watched the Emmys. If I want to see pics of Jennifer Aniston I can always google them.

So 33% drop last year, and a 12% drop added to that this year.

Emmy?
The only Emmy I know is a straight up Ho.
From 8 to 80 crippled, blind or crazy.
If you got the dough, Emmys yo Ho.

Not interested in an enema from our enemies.

I would rather watch a monkey eating a banana.

The entertainment industry has essentially become the denizens of the capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novels: amoral, indulgent, parochial and sanctimonious.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Right up there with the NFL?

There were Emmys this year? Who knew?

I thought everything in Hollywood was locked down...

Then Jimmy Kimmel comes on stage.

I was sure he had left the United States altogether.

[hinckley buzzard]

Nobody under the age of about fifty even cares about the Emmys.

My tv hasn’t been on in months. I stream everything I watch on my ipad.

IMO the worst of the Hollywood scolds is Meryl “Swordnose” Streep, she who boasts about being of pure Aryan blood.

My view of such awards show went below zero when one Oscar winner praised the Khmer Rouge for starting the genocide campaign in Cambodia. My parents never before heard me cuss a blue streak.

I didn’t even know it was on last night. Darn...I missed it. Happens every year.

“I didn’t even know it was on last night. Darn...I missed it. Happens every year.”

Wow! The same thing happens here every year!:)

Thanks to timestax for the above.
