Oscars 2021: Viewers blast 'worst show ever'

This year's Oscars have been labeled the "worst ever" as ratings plummeted to an all-time historic low.

These people need to realize that they are not idolized anymore, there are more important things happening in the world.

[symonluck]

The Oscars are so one-sided nowadays that it makes WWE look unscripted.

Anthony Hopkins was the only sane person to stay home and watch old movies from the 70's

[sallygomez]

Great news! Some people don't get it that we are sick of this wokeness😡

[ssnoc]

Smartest person was Hopkins .... Even as the winner he wouldn’t bother going 😂😂😂👏

[Woodkin]

I'd like to thank the Oscars for this 200 thousand dollar gift bag and for clearing the streets of homeless for which each bag could have bought a new home

[josephrocha]

People who play pretend for a living telling you what to do. People are sick of it. Keep boycotting these clueless narcissists.

The academy awards after 93 years officially died that Sunday night. How truly sad for Hollywood and all of the talented people who made that town. Then wokeness and identify politics destroyed it.

[GrantDaily]

..And Hollywood still doesn't understand what "Go woke, go broke" really means.

[zurn]

This has devalued every Oscar that was ever awarded.
Martin Scorsese just threw all his Oscars in the trash. Because now, they are worthless.

[annetoronto]

They still got to take home $200k swag bags, unbelievable how selfish and hypocritical Hollywood is!

[nyanrapier]

50% drop? Those are rookie numbers, I want to see 90%

[williamstalvey]

Dont need these clowns telling me about race, religion and politics
Lost the elegance years ago

[MusicLuv]

Everyone I talked to are tired of these shows. They are so out of touch with real people and real world. For example, people love Chadwick but most people had no problem Anthony winning it but yet these media keep saying Chadwick should've won. He is a great actor but Anthony deserved that oscar.

[traceycole]

We’re sick of these people. I’ll never watch another award show.

[drrd]

I really appreciate actors like Anthony Hopkins though, they truly are great at their craft and they don't get involved in the hollywood lifestyle and drama, they don't see themselves as a celebrity but an artist giving to their art. He deserves that award, he was Amazing in The Father. Bravo, my boy.

[Cashewnutter]

Cant wait till the eligibility rule kicks in with quotas on cast and crew diversity...
Acting talent based on diversity instead of talent....Great way to kill the awards...

[desolateones]

Did they actually think the average viewer would turn on and watch this rubbish

When some of the winners are only winners because they now tick a particular box and not because of merit, you just know something somewhere is not right

*The Oscars:*
*Then:* Awards people for their talent and hard work.
*Now:* Awards people for being born a certain way and/or for having certain political beliefs.

Can the same idolising of sports stars go the same way please, I for one am disgusted by the adoration they get.
