Maybe part of the reason for the low viewership is that this was an unusually weak year for movies; the two movies that created the most "buzz" - "F9/11" and "The Passion of the Christ" - were not up for the big awards, and not much else got people's attention last year.

I'm sorry if I missed something, but, didn't the Oscars get good ratings last night?

The ratings have been slowly dropping for years. I think it's because it isn't about the "best" movie anymore. It's simply an arena for Hollyweirdos to spout off. And people just don't wanna watch that.

I'm so disgusted and tired of the "stars" who, with their GED's and honorary degrees, think they have the right to tell other people how to vote and abuse their elevated positions to spread their stupidity. In fact, for the first time in my life, I went out and held up a sign stating as much. Right there at Hollywood and Vine. Shut up and act. With Rondog and the rest of the LA Freepers. Felt good.
