Hollywood’s reputation for putting on a show took a drubbing at this year’s Oscars when less than 10 million tuned in compared to last year’s 23.6 million.  Critics pointed to a lack of popular movies which heighten interest.  Those who watched the show were stultified by  nattering presenters and interminable thank-yous from recipients.  There wasn’t much to get excited about.  The disaster was expected because theaters were closed for the year and films were streamed on TV.  Many viewers had not seen any of the works up for awards.  Still, boredom set in from self-congratulatory drivel that emanated from the screen.  I watched for an hour then went to bed.  The 60 minutes was a waste.  Maybe it is time for the show to recede into has-been status.  It was for its time the biggest publicity event coming from Hollywood and a giant PR exercise. It no longer works.
