Title: Oscars ratings PLUMMET 60%, BET Awards continue to thrive
Post by: Russian Roulette on April 26, 2021, 11:15:45 PM
:woohoo:

QuoteAccording to Variety, citing early Nielsen numbers, an average of 9.85 million viewers watched the show Sunday evening, which is a 58.3%, 13.75 million viewer drop-off from last year. In addition, the show earned a mere 1.9 rating among the key demographic of adults age 18-49.

For comparison, that's a big drop-off from last year's 23.64 million viewers and a 5.3 in the key demographic -- both of those numbers were already previous all-time lows.

I think this past year with the pandemic really made people prioritize the shit that really matters in life. I feel as if nobody cares about celebrity culture anymore.

Award shows are boring and dated. Plus celebs have lost their mystique. They're too accessible and downright annoying. Ratings decline every year.

Glad the girls are realizing how boring it is. I don't care if they hand KING Perry 10 awards. Ya done! 💃🏾

If music were good and people could still perform well, music awards shows could still be good.  But, alas, :overit: .

It was created by whites for whites, only recently that've started to embrace POC and that only by force and campaign :dead:
Like most old white institutions it's outdated and dying

That part about celebs losing their mystique plays a big part imo. They're too easily accessible and no one really cares anymore except stans.

Love to see awards like BETs mess grow and stay consistent in many ways 

It's a bigger honor to be recognized by ur own anyway IMO. No one knows us better than we do. The culture and all of its super intricate nuances ... the talent...rap...

time to do away with Oscars and Grammys being used to measure our worth/artistic value . Maybe if they weren't so racist towards Black ppl it'd be different and I'd love them 

but once they refused fas her AOTY for the millionth time with lemonade and had my hero in a crowd crying looking defeated, they made my shit list . 🖕🏾

it's not about who owns it, it's about a platform that actually recognizes and celebrates black talent .

The issue here is exclusion. Don't forget THAT 🤷🏾

And BET has a black face running its operations. That matters. A lot actually.

and I'd feel better if cotton candy dropped from the sky everyday ☺️

But unfortunately the reality is that most big businesses in America are white owned .

But I def will put a dog into a fight for a business that has a black CEO and focuses on the inclusion of blackness than one that does the complete opposite

Does that make sense?
