Oscars Ratings Spin

I would love to know who watches this drek. Oscars TV ratings improve – to third worst ever

Most of the press is screaming about how good things are in Hollywood. The Guardian was one of the very few news organizations to put "third worst" in the headline.

The audience for the 2023 Academy Awards broadcast improved substantially on last year’s unimpressive figures, with a 12% jump on what was the second worst ratings performance in history.

This is not really good. The rating was 18.7 million viewers this year, 16.6 million in 2022, and 10.4 million in 2021.

Most of the press is gushing about this "improvement."

As recently as 2010, 41.7 million people watched the Academy Awards. They really started to crater in 2018 (26.6 million viewers), after a year of two of Woke Hollywood™. There was a bit of a recovery in 2019, then it fell to 10.4 million viewers in 2021, according to the Wiki. The Wiki has the viewership bouncing between 30 and 40 million viewers, or a bit more, as far back as the stats go, to 1986 and 58th awards ceremony.

Because the press will not say anything that could lead to connecting "Get Woke" with "Go Broke," most will not dwell on the numbers.
