BUtterfield 8 38,357 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 the 93rd Academy Awards were watched by a mere 9.85 million, with a dismal rating of 1.9 among the 18-49 demographic. That is an all-time low for Hollywood’s biggest night — by a huge margin. In fact, it is a drop of about 58% in terms of audience from what the previous low of the 2020 Oscars snared on February 9 last year. In terms of the key demo, the 2021 Oscars is down a crushing 64.2% in the earlier ratings from the 2020 Oscars. Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierryrreiht 19,967 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Like I said here: On 3/15/2021 at 3:49 PM, thierryrreiht said: - Covid: award shows are not a priority for the mass population, awarding the rich and famous when some are waiting for their stimulus check for food... - Covid: the hype isn't there much because the "covid formula" of not having everyone in the same place at the same time (red carpet, performances) makes people not excited about it. Also: because of COVID, movie theatres were mostly closed for the last year, and a lot of movies were released right away on streaming platforms. The danger here is, if you don't have Hulu, Disney+, Netflix, etc... well you can't see those movies easily. A lot of nominees were unknown to the GP, since they didn't get it in their local cinema (or not for very long). Also I heard they barely showed clips of the nominated movies, again making it hard for people to connect (or want to connect) to the movies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina George 59,387 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 It’s corona. Every single show had low ratings. Shows are just not as fun. That’s it. Nothing is falling apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 23,564 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 As expected. I know everyone keeps saying corona is to blame, but frankly they made some really poor decisions. Like, barely showing any footage of the nominated films or putting the live performances before the actual show, not to mention putting best actor last, which totally didn't pan out the way they wanted. There also weren't many big films for casual moviegoers to root for, so it's all pretty understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkTheFunk 121,511 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not surprising. I think this is the first time in maybe 15 or 16 years that I didn't even bother watching the Oscars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 lmao nobody cares about celebrities winning awards anymore. Music awards can somewhat work because they do performances but nobody cares if you got an award for your film in the end, it's very boring to watch as a show and the cult of celebrity is kinda dying, very slowly but steadily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoncore 475 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 There's been also plenty of controversy of them reserving Union Station in LA for their ceremony, which has disrupted travel for many residents--especially for disabled individuals. Also, they gave some of the homeless people around there a curfew to move at risk of having their belongings discarded/destroyed. It's very tone deaf for the committee to do this, in my opinion.

Just A Holy Fool 1,882 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I didn't watch, but I saw enough chatter on Twitter to tell me it was a hot god damn mess. Glenn Close twerked apparently? As if snubbing Viola and Chadwick weren't bad enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
