The Oscars

[alina6]

Last night was the lowest rated Oscars since they started keeping track. I think people are getting tired of the pompous people who think they can tell us how to think.

Last night was the lowest rated Oscars since they started keeping track. I think people are getting tired of the pompous people who think they can tell us how to think.

I heard about this concerning the low viewership of the 2018 Oscar Awards.  This issue was debated on Fox this evening.  One point that was made about people not tuning in was due to the fact that we have seen no blockbuster movies in recent years (like Titanic).  People watch the Oscars when a big movie comes along; they want to see it rake in the Oscars.

I didn't watch because I never even heard of the movies that were in the running. I didn't watch because Meryl Streep and other pompous idiots were going to be there and I don't need them to tell me what I can and can't do, can or can't admire, or can or can't vote for whomever I think is the best person for the job.  Kimmel, too, has turned me off big time with his ignorance. I used to like him but now all he does is make political hate speeches.

I watched Walking Dead and Talking Dead, then bed time.

I don't watch the Oscars like I did when I was younger.  Now, I don't know anything about the movies because we don't go to them anymore.

I watched a little bit but can't take all those hours of that so I get the recap on line.

Nope didn't watch them, They  have  just  gotten so  rotten to  watch,   I rarely even watch the movies that have come out lately, I don't  think most of them are worth it. I just don't enjoy gong to one any more what with all of the noise the kids make or kicking my  seat in the back. If I want to watch a movie I will rent it and watch at home in peace and quite.

I watched them and enjoyed the show.  There was not a lot of politics but there was a lot more diversity this year than I have seen in the past.  It makes me laugh when some on the forum call everyone in Hollywood ignorant,
just because they don't agree with a few opinions.  If your opinion is swayed by a 30 or 45 second speech how strong could it be anyway.    Anyway, that is why they have lots of channels and programs on so we can all see what we want to.]

i feel that the oscars is overrated nowadays with all the controversy in hollywood

[sherryfan]

Wow, I was surprising that not many people watching it

[jwkelly]

How many ?

[bigfoot951]

I watch it every year.  This year, I tried to watch it, but I only lasted five minutes.  It's a joke.  If I didn't know any better I would think that they are trying to disgrace themselves.

I did not watch the Oscars. I was watching something else.
