Get woke, go broke.
The 93rd Academy Awards show was a total bust.
The 2021 woke Oscars plunged more than 50% from last year in overnight ratings according to data from Nielsen.
The woke Oscars opened with an actress saying that “if things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I might have traded in my heels for marching boots.”
Actress Regina King, who had a supporting role in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, kicked off the show by talking about the Derek Chauvin trial.
No wonder why no one watched this garbage.
The Wrap reported:
Sunday’s host-less Oscars drew a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 and 9.85 million total viewers, setting new record lows, according to the earliest available data from Nielsen, which is not time-zone adjusted.
Those initial numbers for the 2021 awards show, which was taped at Union Station in Los Angeles and aired live on ABC from 8-11:17 p.m. ET, represent a decline of 64% in the key demo and 58% in overall viewers compared to 2020’s results, but a more accurate comparison can be made when finalized data comes in Tuesday.
No surprise: Oscar ratings plunge more than 50 percent from last year. https://t.co/GAUmqjYsqT
