Breaking News: Cable TV Program viewership is declining!!!!
(Applies to everything, including the Super Bowl)
(Applies to everything, including the Super Bowl)
I don't think it's just the trends of cable contracts declining, etc. It's a lot of things. I think award shows in general aren't as appealing to younger audiences as they are older ones because people see these folks all the time on social media, etc.
Before this era, there was a sort of excitement to get stars in the room for the nation to see them, especially the Oscars.
The Oscars could do a lot better though with some simple changes to bring some of that prestige back.

Leave politics out of these award shows. That would help.
I can honestly say I didn't even know the damn show was on last night
you'd be surprised at how few people actually care enough to keep from watching, that would have been watching otherwise.aTmAg said:

Unfortunately, they all get off on it.
Most folks are fine with politics as long as they're politics that agree with their own.aTmAg said:

And film, sports, and music have been interwoven with politics for years, despite some trying to make you believe that this is a recent phenomenon.
Save for Phoenix's rant, which I admittedly tuned out and don't remember most of, the only other political message I heard all night was Pitt's John Bolton comment, which wasn't that controversial, considering a number of people on both sides of the isle seem agree that it's standard practice to, you know, allow witnesses at a trial. I didn't see that as "sh/tting on red America" at all. I'm with you that celebs can certainly be sanctimonious blow hards, but I honestly felt that the political messaging was incredibly tame last night.
I think you'd be surprised the other way around. I used to watch it, but I got tired of getting lectured to by attractive people with HS degrees. I know there are plenty like me.PatAg said:you'd be surprised at how few people actually care enough to keep from watching, that would have been watching otherwise.aTmAg said:

The academy awards ratings have been going down for years. NFL ratings went down during the kneeling BS, and went back up as that went away. The phenomena is not isolated to the Oscars.fig96 said:Most folks are fine with politics as long as they're politics that agree with their own.aTmAg said:

What these people should realize is that they are there because they look good and are good at playing pretend. They don't have any more expertise in economics, history, politics, etc. than teenagers, so they should probably refrain from embarrassing themselves with their opinions on the matter.

I don't lecture people on on here or anywhere else about quantum mechanics or how to rebuild a transmission, because I don't know about that stuff. That's the difference.
If Hollywood stars want to throw out their opinion on movie making, have at it. They know more about that than any of us.

This is a huge generalization that I don't agree with at all. Are there plenty of stars who yap and yap about crap they know nothing about? Absolutely. But there are also tons who essentially make their causes their second jobs - with the vast amount of free time they have between gigs - and devote that time to studying the issues, sitting on boards, traveling to locations of interest, etc. You may not agree with some of their causes, but there are plenty of stars who *are* knowledgeable and *do* walk the walk. You can't just sit there and say every celeb is a moron with nothing more than a high school degree, because that's not even close to the truth.
Yeah, I LOL whenever movie/rock stars spout about stuff they have 0 clue on as well.MBAR said:aTmAg said:I think you'd be surprised the other way around.

And sitting on boards, reading like-minded authors, and marching in rallies does not make one educated on something.
I just don't tune in anymore. I have better things to do.

The beacon of politics has been lit and aTmAg has come like the red angry moth he is. The dude literally has no film/entertainment related opinions to share. His life is run by politics and he only posts here when he's offended.Chase McGuire said:

What is ironic about that? Unlike Hollywood morons, I expose myself to opposite viewpoints all the time.MBAR said:Holy **** you're on the irony roll tonight.

I'm about to ditch this thread like all those people ditched the NFL. It's a shame too. It was fun for a while.
Yeah we know man. Which is why its hilarious you're in this thread. You lack even the most basic of self awareness.aTmAg said:I just don't tune in anymore. I have better things to do.

I'm not offended. I didn't watch. I have no idea what was said last night, if anything. I'm just expressing my opinion on what would make the ratings improve.M.C.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm in this thread explaining why I think the ratings were down (which was already being discussed here). I'm certainly qualified to talk about that. Since I, and many people like me, didn't tune in for a reason.MBAR said:Yeah we know man. Which is why its hilarious you're in this thread.

I took it. Hook, line, and sinker.
Apologies everyone.
I know better.
Agreed, and I think it is an absolute travesty that Klaus didn't win. They used a never before seen form of animation, and the story was lightyears better than Toy Story 4. I am still in shock that this film was actually hand drawn.spanky said:
I was kind of upset with Toy Story 4 winning best animated film. Don't think it is even in the same realm as Toy Story or Toy Story 3, and it is sad to see it as an Oscar winner while much better films (Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, Lego Movie, Moana, Your Name., Fantastic Mr. Fox, etc.) didn't win and didn't even get a nom in some cases. It's hard to buy Pixar's pitch of we make movies for families when they are pumping out several sequels for $$$ now.
