The ratings for this year's Oscars have dropped massively. The ratings for 2021 fell more than 50 percent from the year before.
In 2021, the Oscars received 8.9/19. In 2020 it got 18.1/33 and in 2019 it received a much higher 21.6/36.
According to the New York Times, "analysis indicated that ‘vast swaths’ of people turned off their televisions when celebrities started to opine on politics."
Actors got $205K swag bags at the #Oscars. Imagine how many copies of Kamala's book they could have purchased for the children Biden has caged at the border.

Of course, the poor viewership may also have something to do with the pandemic.
Ricky Gervais, then, may have been less facetious than he thought when he told actors that "if you win, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god, and f*** off."
Despite this, this year's winners didn't take Gervais' advice. Regina King, for instance, spent some time lecturing the public about Derek Chauvin.

And Asian sisters.
And our Latina sisters.
And indigenous women.
And I know that one day it won't be unusual or groundbreaking.
It will just be normal."
