OSCAR RATINGS crashed (see below) after a night of politics and protests…Hollywood has been hijacked by the far left so it goes without saying that people turned off the TV even if they attempted to watch the annual Hollywood celebration of movies…
Hollywood doesn’t realize that Americans want the show to be exactly what they seek when they go to the movies….A chance to be entertained. They’re so out of touch with the very audience they want to sell tickets to.
Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t help himself…He gave a monologue full of political slams and support for the cause de jour. The Me Too cause was one of the prominent ones Kimmel mentioned.He also mentioned the anti-gun protest on March 24th by the Parkland High School students. Too bad the 90th Oscar Awards show didn’t choose to exclude politics and protests from the evening. It’s expected now…too bad.

Kimmel continued…
“I remember a time when the major studios didn’t believe a woman or a minority could open a super hero movie…And the reason I remember that time is because it was March of last year.” #Oscars pic.twitter.com/dFM39m6af4

Breitbart reports:
The ratings for Sunday night’s telecast of the 90th annual Academy Awards collapsed by a whopping 16 percent, which would mean an all-time low, according to early estimates.
Variety reports that the “8 p.m.-11 p.m. portion of ABC’s telecast averaged an 18.9 household rating and 32 share in Nielsen’s metered market overnight ratings … That’s down about 16% from the 22.5/37 rating generated by the 2017 Oscars.”
According to Deadline, the “18.9 appears to be an all-time low for the Oscars, below the previous low ratings point for the Oscars, logged with the 2008 telecast (21.9).”
The ratings will be updated once all the numbers are in,But if past is prologue, those numbers will not change much either way.
