2018 Oscar Ratings Down Double Digits, Eye All-Time Low In Early Estimates

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah but they'll be snobbish about new films made by women, minorities, and shyt that appeals to people their age. More Lady Birds and Get Outs, less Darkest Hours. You'll probably get younger actors nominated too. I don't think being snobbish is a bug of their award show, it's a feature.

Every generation tries to course correct from the one before. Our parents tried to course correct from their parents. We do the same. So yeah I can see the academy swinging the pendulum in the direction you’re saying and then we’ll see what the lay of the land is in 5-10 years

If they only nominated popular big budget movies then no one would take it seriously. The Grammys and other awards typically do that. You rarely see a genuinely great artist win a Grammy.

Right, and not Logan. Hmm . . .

They could have put in Logan and Wonder Woman instead of The Post and Darkest Hour. Because those comic book movies have just as much chance to win (0%), but are bigger draws

So much politics it's a wonder people take the award so seriously.

People saw shape of water getting so many nominations and tuned out

no one cares about the Oscars anymore. There is way too much content now to care about art house bullshyt these critics pump up and give awards to.

That makes no sense since it was the highet grossing domestic best picture winner since 2012 per Forbes

Which means nothing because all those films made barely anything. It's not like shape of water was a box office smash. That's like being the smartest kid with down syndrome.

Fact is,it had the most nominations,the most press and was talked about the most going into the night. And that night delivered the worst ratings ever.

Award trash and get trash results

Shakespeare in love and the kings speech all over again

Give Youtube a fatass check and stream that shyt online.

 

[Tasha And]

I could see them making a deal with Hulu to stream it. But they’d be missing out on worldwide streams since Hulu is only domestic if I’m not mistaken.

I dont know how ppl can constantly mention wonder woman should have been nominated with a straight face. Nominated for what? Best movie? This isnt mtv. It would be so transparent what they were doing

I don't think WW should have been but I absolutely believe Logan should have been. I'd take it over a couple of the nominees.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

The big sick and I tonya also should have been nominated.

I think politics plays a role. Half the country ain't fukking with the #metoo movement and half the country voted for Trump. I think racist America tuned out
