What kind of ratings do the Oscars and Emmys get?
After a low in 2021 of 10MM views, the Oscars have recovered somewhat to be back up to 18MM views last year. Their all time high was in 1999 of 55MM views. It was the year Titanic won Best Picture.
As a comparison the last two Super Bowls got between 115MM and 123MM views. The 1969 Moon landing is still the largest ever between 125-150MM views. It was on every network.
The MASH finale got 105MM views. The single highest rated TV episode of all time.
Keep in mind though that The Joe Rogan Podcast routinely gets between 9MM-114MM views depending on the episodes.
I watched a movie on Netflix last night from 2015 called “The Gift”. It was actually very well written and acted. It got a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score.
IMHO, the last really good movie that won for Best Picture was in 2013 for 12 Years a Slave. The highest rated movie ever according to IMBd was 1972’s The Godfather with a 9.2.
