Thanks to liberals, Oscar slump: Academy Awards ratings hit all-time low

The Oscars television audience fell 20 percent from a year ago 
to its lowest point in the show's 92-year history.

Sunday's Oscars struck two notable milestones. In a sign of 
evolution, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 
awarded its best picture prize to a non-English-language film 
for the first time in its 92-year history. But domestic ratings 
for the barrier-breaking show were also the lowest ever.

United States viewership dropped 20 percent from a year ago, to 
an average TV audience of 23.6 million total viewers, according 
to Walt Disney Company-owned ABC, citing data from Nielsen.

ABC broadcast the ceremony, which did not have a host for the 
second year in a row and included performances by Janelle Monae 
and Eminem. The show's presenters included Steve Martin, Chris 
Rock, Mindy Kaling and Salma Hayek.

This year the Academy was widely criticised for not nominating 
any women for the best director category, and the ceremony 
included jokes and remarks about that exclusion and the list of 
20 acting nominees that included just one person of colour.

The South Korean social satire, Parasite, made history by 
becoming the first non-English language film to win best 
picture. Director Bong Joon Ho's movie also won three other 
awards including best director, beating out veterans such as 
Martin Scorsese. The movie's wins made history in both the 
Hollywood and South Korean film industries. The class satire is 
the first non-English-language film to win the best picture in 
the history of the Academy Awards, and is the first South Korean 
movie to ever win an Oscar.

Renee Zellweger won the best actress award for her performance 
as Judy Garland in the musical biopic, Judy, while Joaquin 
Phoenix won best actor for his performance in Joker.

The average unit cost for a 30-second TV advertisement during 
the ceremony ranged from $1.69m to $2.27m, according to the 
research firm SQAD. ABC owns broadcast rights for the Oscars 
through 2028.

The ceremony drew negative reviews from the Hollywood press. 
Dominic Patten described it as a "lackluster circus" in Deadline 
Hollywood.

"Maybe every award show doesn't need a host? This one sure did," 
wrote Daniel Fienberg in the Hollywood Reporter.

"The structure and fluidity that an emcee can help provide was 
exactly what this telecast was missing, which doesn't mean that 
a Billy Crystal or Ricky Gervais would have solved everything 
that was weird about what was a telecast without a clear theme, 
message, agenda or cohering purpose," Fienberg said.

Fuck you. I have better things to do with my money.

Take your faggots and social warrior pedophiles, shove them up
