And that is why there was a slap.

Remember the “wardrobe malfunction”? That was staged too.

I call BS on this unless they count later viewing on YouTube and such. It’s not like hordes of people ran to the TV because they got a “Breaking News Alert” about it real time.

“ABC drew 13.73 million viewers”

If you toss the fraud votes Biden probably got 60 million votes. So it’s no surprise 20% of those clueless idiots would watch this crap.

It’s official: everyone likes seeing celebrities get beaten down. Guaranteed ratings gold!

A good comeback for Chris Rock would have been

” Ladies & Gentlemen.. I have said before there are two kinds of black people. (With a big smile on his face) Tonight Will Smith showed the world what kind he is “

The 94th annual Academy Awards on ABC drew 13.73 million viewers on Sunday, according to fast national Nielsen ratings

As compared to 10 years ago when “27 February 2012 - ABC's awards coverage delivered 39.3 million viewers,”

This year's Oscar's only made ONE THIRD of Oscar ratings 10 years ago.
And we have a much bigger population now.
It's a great big massive fail for the Oscars.
