For a quick comparison 57 million Americans watched the Oscar’s in 1998 out of a population of 272 million which means 20% of America watch the Oscar’s. Rounding up we’ll say 18 million viewers out of 349 million is 5%.
Approx 70% drop in viewership since then. The woke slop has taken its toll. Get Kodi and watch at home. Bought a theatre style popcorn maker and soda maker! Cost, $350. One trip to the theater, $150. Yup, made it up already. Lol
That's also before widespread of high speed internet and everyone was still stuck on cable for entertainments
Which should have the opposite effect though. Think about it this way, the superbowl had around 90 million viewers in 1998 and around 125.6 million this year, even with population growth adjusted that’s still a larger percentage of viewers. The Oscar’s became a joke because Hollywood has not produced the same caliber of material compared to the 90s.
