Oscar ratings plunge to a record low
 

I guess people are sick of listening to those hollywood hillbots whine about Trump for 2 hours :1orglaugh


Television viewers could barely stifle a yawn for Hollywood’s biggest night, with the Academy Awards plunging to a record-low viewership of 26.5 million people.

The Nielsen company said that’s a 20 percent drop from the 33 million who watched the 2017 show, which was also hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Oscar viewership is often tied to the box office muscle of the big nominees, and best picture winner “The Shape of Water” only grossed $57.4 million in the United States.

It’s the first time the Oscars have drawn fewer than 30 million people, in Nielsen records that go back to 1974. The Academy Awards are often the most-watched television program of the year after the Super Bowl, but this year’s Winter Olympics opening ceremony from Pyeongchang reached 27.8 million.

The previous low-water mark for the Oscars came in 2008, when “No Country For Old Men” won best picture.

Only four years ago the Oscar reached nearly 44 million viewers. The biggest Academy Awards audience on record came in 1998, when the blockbuster “Titanic” was named best picture.

The Academy Awards can keep bragging rights over other awards shows. The Golden Globes reached 19 million viewers in January and the Grammys had an audience of 19.8 million, Nielsen said.

fuck the oscars

A small group of friends all handing each other awards? I can't imagine actually REALLY caring. It seems self serving.

I just voted myself most talented guy in the room!

They probably had more viewers than Chump's inauguration

It's done.

Hollywood now looks like a relic of the previous century, that should be left to wither and die.

I dont watch those gay awards but jennifer garner was hot as fuck...I would break my dick in her...I would need some sort of penile prosthesis to prevent breakage...

Oh look the OP foreign alt-right hate fake nic that hates Americans and American culture is posting about it yet again.

is this news? the oscars haven't drawn ratings in over a decade.

What is it about Republicans that makes them humorless, soulless shit stains? Why don't you answer that question OneHung?

I love movies, and love the Oscars. It's really great to see artists get recognition and win an award or two. I am more interested in the technical awards like directing, editing, and visual effects than acting, but thats me.

The highlight was Jimmy Kimmel surprising the movie theatre across the street. I would have loved to have been there.

OneHungLo: You clearly didn't watch the show, so you don't know what you're talking about. No one talked about idiot Trump during the awards, and you can bet DJT was sad as fuck that he was mostly ignored.

He's an idiot - don't lose any sleep over him.

Simple! Most are a miserable, hateful bunch who pine endlessly for the "good old days" because they are afraid of young people and change. They also couldn't laugh at themselves if they tried.

Ben said she's a bitch to live with !

I would just demolish her asshole with my dick...I do not care about the relationship stuff...

Conservatives should start their own movie awards show. In honor of our POTUS they could call it The Comrades. I'm sure millions would tune in to watch ;)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

I could never go where Ben Affleck has been.
Her crotch probably tastes like Matt Damon, no thanks.

^^^ More vile hatred from the left. Whatever dooooood- seek help :1orglaugh

Guilty as charged

Boring. Fuck the Oscars. Stupid shit.

We only tune in to see the 'dead roll call' - seeing the names of people we still give no fucks about.

Who wants to listen to a bunch of rich Democrats whine for hours about how bad they have it?

thats low testosterone talk right there...the wind would play her gaping asshole like a flute...total destruction....it would become useless...

Kettle, Black.


Really? Ouch... I'm always surprised at this segment... I always find it touching.


Awww dude... its more than that. I enjoy the show. Forget politics when watching it. If someone goes off on a political speech, just ignore it. I think it's a nice show. If you're having a bad day today, my sympathies! I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Too much politics on the award shows now, it's sickening

yup, i agree. It doesn't make any sense.

I love to hear the 1% tell us how hard their lives are. Try quitting being a star and work in Dennys. Then tell me how hard you have it.

Meanwhile you lick trumps golden toilet.

I bet a good % of viewers were alt right losers watching so they could run to the boards and start threads about how lame the Oscars were.

Probably because the Oscar usually goes to the movies almost no one is crazy about.

^^^ Attention whore with nothing to say...^^^

I also thought this was the highlight.

I was a little disappointed with The Shape of Water winning best picture. Fantastic directing but I thought Dunkirk, Bladerunner 2049, 3 Billboards, The Florida Project were better overall movies.

I did find it amusing when Jimmy Kimmel was talking about sexual harassment and equality for women in film when I still remember him and the Juggie girls from The Man Show. Nothing wrong with it and I loved The Man Show. Girls on trampolines was great ;-)
