Masking at the Oscars
-
Good for her for keeping her mask on among the other show business elites who did not, though staying home and not attending any unnecessary gathering would have been even better.
Always liked her since first seeing her performance in Disney’s “Shake It Up” children’s TV show. Figure she has good chance of growing up into a Will Smith type figure.

Anthony Hopkins was in Wales and did not attend the ceremony.
He decided that it was not worth the risk to travel.

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.

The Oscars used to be a general population event. They are consciously changing the nature of it to encourage and reward a different set of desired outcomes that don’t measure audience enjoyment. In fact there is a very measurable disconnect.
Moviemakers still have to make movies that sell. They will just be different than Oscar winners.

This post is the first I noticed of the oscars this year. I didn't even know it was on yesterday.
That's too bad, I used to like it. I doubt if I could stand it anymore.
I assume the show was very woke.

It was SO woke... you wouldn't believe. They even had Glenn Close twerking. It was black to the point of pandering.

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

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

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

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"

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...
