Last night’s Oscars was a complete debacle – as 13.75 million fewer viewers watched vs. last year, a decline of 58.3%.
More via Variety:
Per Nielsen Live+Same Day preliminary national numbers, an average of 9.85 million viewers tuned in on Sunday evening to watch a more intimate and stripped-down version of the Oscars in the midst of a pandemic. That’s a 58.3%, 13.75 million viewer drop-off from last year. The Academy’s third host-less show in a row scored a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 in the fast national ratings, a 64.2% dip from 2020.
For comparison, last year’s ceremony garnered a 5.3 rating in the key demographic and 23.6 million viewers per the night’s time-zone adjusted fast national charts. The Oscars in 2019 delivered a 7.7 rating in adults 18-49 and 29.6 million viewers. While up 12% from 2018, that viewership figure represented the second-smallest audience ever for an Academy Awards telecast at the time. 2018 delivered the previous smallest viewership tally with 26.5 million viewers.
You know it’s bad when Chuck Schumer starts shilling for the Academy.
According to producer Steven Soderbergh – director of “Traffic” and “Eric Brockovich,” the event got “1 star.”
“The night was nearly non-stop drudgery, zero humor and a format that tried even the most resolute of attention spans,” he said, according to the NY Post.
Of course, thanks to the pandemic, Hollywood has been plagued with production setbacks and a dead box-office for the better part of a year.
We can’t exactly put our finger on what was missing this year…

WTF is a plant based beer?
Lemme see…hops, wheat, barley??? Chuck must think they’re animals.
What isn’t a plant-based beer? Just when you think they can’t possibly get any stupider, they go and prove you wrong. Schumer should probably check with Pelosi; she’s an expert when it comes to alcohol. Rumer is that she’s deathly afraid of lit matches.
I think it was his lame attempt at a joke. I personally also consider meat to be plant-based.
Schmidt Beer used to be known as Animal Beer,
So it wasn’t a Schmidt.
Evidently that’s new slang for something that is kosher.
But the awards show called elections r/e/aped a bumper crop.
Next up the science of piranha self-sacrifice:
The fatfuk could cause indigestion to an entire frenzy of sharks.

The whole thing deserves your contempt – same as the contempt they have for you.
A demonic propaganda machine that wants to fill your, and your childrens’, head with sewage.
Defund, dismantle and disappear Hollyweird.
I am so pleased you said that Auntie – neatly put and exactly my sentiments. Now that the great unwashed have discovered streaming I don’t think the grotesque cinemas will be viable in future – RIP
As individuals they pretty much suck, as an industry they pretty much suck and their products are even worse because they are “approved” pretty much by China……..three strikes and you’re out.
Couldn’t have happened to a Nicer Bunch of Douche Nozzles……
The only way I will ever watch the Oscars is if Ricky Gervais is host and we all know that will never, ever happen.
There would also need to be some sort of playback intelligence too, so you could record it and easily fast forward to JUST Ricky’s comments.
Soon AI and advanced automation will bring back greats like Gable, Bogie and Grable to do new roles. Then these woke assholes won’t get acting work no matter how many old Jews they blow.
The movies are all complete shit. They shouldn’t have been receiving awards, they should have been giving all of us an apology for the subversive filth that they made.
Maybe Next Year, They could try a Zombie Theme, Sort of, – – –
Award Night Of The Living Dead.
I’m glad TBP post ZeroHedge articles. I can freely comment on them here without the ZH speech police banning me for saying Negro or Beaner.
They go apeshit over there if you type anything with “Jew” in it.
Fuck the Oscars, the Emmy’s, Grammys, Pro Sports, the NCAA, and all the rest of the leftist media circus.
I haven’t watched that crap in 20 years. Don’t bitch, just don’t watch.
Well, now we know there’s a minimum of 13.75 dumb asses in America. There’s actually a lot more, but at least they don’t follow Hollyweird.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but that 13.75 million figure is nearly the same as the number of people in America that qualify to become Israeli citizens under Israel’s Law of Return.
