Used to love the Oscars. Had Oscar parties! Now, we don’t even know when they come on. Not only do we not watch anymore we don’t even know what is nominated for any category. Nor do we check to see who won what. A complete total waste of time.

As a show it’s shitty and boring these days. Haven’t paid a lick of attention for 10 plus years. That being said I don’t think it should go away. Some enjoy it so good for them. I can just easily keep not paying attention.

What year did they start taking serious heat for not enough black people being awarded?

So what, we have a POTUS who’s been in office for over 3 months and he hasn’t been awake yet...

It's completely useless.

Just a bunch of scumbag libs patting each other on their backs for producing shite product.

The Oscars decline is a pretty big deal. It used to be the second most watched broadcast after the Super Bowl on a yearly basis.

The Oscars ‘jumped the shark’ when they awarded ‘Shakespeare In Love’ over ‘Saving Private Ryan.’ And I blamed Harry Weinstein for that. He massively campaigned and strong armed voters into to voting for Shakespeare. And I’m glad that fat disgusting, repugnant piece of shite is in prison and wasting away because of this!
Yes, I’m being petty and shallow. frick off.

We’d need to find a way to convince their sponsors to pull out for good.

I'd have to go look up that awesome thread on the fark board, but I don't think it's been very long.

Right around 2015, looks like.

The “zero” on that chart should give everyone a goal to strive for.

Why would I want to watch a bunch of people who hate me Pat their own backs and lecture me about how evil and worthless I am while not following the rules they demand the peasants bow down to?

They're not going away any time soon. Hollywood is chock full of narcissistic, self-congratulatory assholes. This is an industry that revered and protected Harvey Weinstein for decades, blamed everyone else and then proclaimed their own virtue for it.

I think it held steady at around 40 million viewers average for decades. Then something happened around 2015 and it just started dropping off a cliff.
