Hollywood trying to set the narrative for the impending Oscars ratings disaster

It doesn’t matter how low the ratings are, the nominated movies are diverse and that’s all that matters. The ceremony and the winners will be “remembered forever”

Inclusion Will Stamp 93rd Oscars’ Place In History, No Matter Its TV Ratings
Editor’s note: Dwayne Barnes wrote a touching column on his portrayal as a desperate crack addict in Menace II Society, when a recent controversy reared up over an agent sending that clip from the film to a manager. Today, he brings a journeyman actor’s perspective to why the 93rd Academy Award cannot be dismissed even if prognosticators prove right and TV ratings suffer in the recognition of films that bowed when theaters were closed by a global pandemic. – MF

As voters fill out their final Oscar ballots, there seems to be less suspense about who will win than on how low the TV ratings will be for the 93rd Academy Awards. Some believe this will be a forgettable ceremony, celebrating films released during a Covid pandemic where nobody went to the movies. The results, the skeptics say, is that no matter what Oscarcast producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher do, they will presiding over the lowest-rated show in memory.
Maybe so. But as an African American actor who has long struggled to stay upbeat while going on countless auditions, and often feeling like the deck was stacked against me, I think that this Oscars will be forever remembered as the one where changes in the voting body made six years ago in the wake of #OscarsSoWhite has delivered an a promise by the Academy to reform itself.

Oscar ratings? I don’t know about all that, and frankly, I’m not even concerned about it. I’m most excited that all the global cultural shifts, and the change in the color scheme of Hollywood decision makers and Oscar voters, might forever shift the complexion of the Oscars, and the color scheme of the movies that get made and celebrated for excellence. No matter who wins or loses the night of April 25, the 93rd Academy Awards will be remembered forever for this reason.

It will start to matter when they lose money. THAT much I can guarantee.

This is the first time I’ve never seen a movie nominated for Best Picture.

Why they still have these shows is beyond me.

the only ones who watch that trash are the ones being voted on and liberal brain dead zombies waiting to be told what to think

I don’t think it’s profit driven anymore.
It’s about programming the public.

Losing money is not an issue because the deep state will continue pumping laundered money into their biggest propaganda machine

heck just take a look at the list of nominees, I havent heard of most the people or movies.

Ratings will be a disaster because theaters have been closed all year. No one gets excited for TV movies.

STFU trannyboy boy or post some facts with links. No one gives a shite about your woke arse opinion.
Posted on 4/19/21 at 12:21 pm to jatilen
Most of the movies selected for awards are preachy garbage anyway. Black trauma, anti-white, woke, diverse, pick your box office poison.

Thanks for summarizing their plan, because I'm just as likely to read it as I am to watch the Oscars.

Are you saying these films aren't deserving? Not the quality we would get in a normal year that would get everyone excited? Wow, the wokes are gonna get you.

And soys like you tuned in to get your NPC programming on what to be outraged about in the recent past.
Now there is none needed. So there is less reason to watch.

Ratings were a disaster before Covid... but we all know liberals like to paint Covid as the boogie man rather than their own destructive and intolerant world views.
