Masking at the Oscars
-
In 1998, the Oscars had about 57 million viewers.
Last night, they had 9.8 million.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

And the 18-49 segment is nearly non existent.

It must be that there is no negative impact of having this thing die off.
Celeb’s have their twitter audience, maybe they just don’t need to be seen and directors that want to make a lot of money see no harm from not being an Oscar contender.
The Oscars are about as dead as you can make it.

Woke
A sample of Googled Oscar headlines"RIP The Oscars – these grim, woke-ravaged, fun-devoid awards were a howlingly dull train-wreck that killed the Hollywood dream stone dead"

I'm so glad I fell asleep. Had I wakened, I would've thought it was a nightmare.

It was, I assure you

It hardly seems like a year since everybody was complaining about how shit last year's Oscars were, and it's actually longer than that.
I've never understood why anybody would watch a bunch of rich people telling each other how great they are. If you did watch, you've only got yourself to blame.

Incidentally, if they want to improve it, they need to have Rick Gervais host. I'd watch that show.

Three things lacking:
- Old time star power.
- Oscar winning movies that people actually want to watch.
- An appreciation for the fans, without an abundance of woke BS.

They’re ratings matched an average ratings for NCIS or The Voice...

A sense of their own silliness would really help.

First Oscars in memory that I can recall not watching any of.
I used to watch all the nominated movies in anticipation of the awards but it’s a new Oscars and there is no assurance anymore that the nominated movies are watchable-that is something that doesn’t feel like boring homework.

I think it's safe to say that circa none of those 9.8 million were of the disadvantaged classes the high status woke at the event presume to speak for.
