About a quarter of the US population in streams. Petty good. Imagine the viewership if it was also on TV.

Right there's nothing on most of these channels anyway it's gotta be worth a shot for smaller cable channels like scifi or there old home paramount channel. Hell even a smaller network like CW may benefit.

Most people watch the Game Awards for the trailers.

If the Oscars premiered trailers for the new Marvel/Dc/Star Wars flicks they'd do better. Instead you get the same people circlejerking each other for playing British royalty each year.

People used to watch the oscars and emmys just to see what celebrities were doing/wearing. Now people see them everyday acting stupid on social media it’s lost its luster

I mean, were comparing this to an award show with little to no draw other than awards, which are mostly going to movies that a good portion of the audience either hasn't seen, or can't easily go see. shyt was inevitable.
