"Facts are facts, and a mere ten years ago, in 2014, the Oscar telecast drew 43.7 million viewers. Five years ago, in 2019, 30 million tuned in.

But by all means, celebrate that 19.5 million."

Hasn’t been on in our home in years.

“Jimmy Kimmel sucks. He’s smug, divisive, not terribly funny, and no one watches his late-night show. America long ago rejected him.”

Trump was not wrong about Jimmy Kimmel:

“Has there ever been a worst host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars? His opening was that of a less-than-average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be.

Amen, President Trump, Amen.

Are the Hollywood people still giving each other trinkets as awards?

Trump was right, again. Kimmel was horrible. They need to go back to “no” host.

Hollywood is slowly dying. It’s already dead for me.

TV "movies" like Yellowstone or name your favorite, are much better than the crap that comes out of Hollywood. Barbie? Really?

I haven’t watched in years, but my recollection of Billy Crystal is that he was an entertaining Oscars host who didn’t much get into politics.

After bashing President Trump, it is no wonder that they lost so many viewers. Of course we do not watch it and have not in decades.

Haven't watched it in full since "Little Feather" rejected Brando's Oscar.

Though I did enjoy the YouTube upload of those two Black actor-comedians duking it out and cussing at each other during the presentations a few years back.

Regards,

JK is about as authentic as Thurston Howell delivering snide comments as jokes to an accompanying giggle track.

Too bad it wasn't THE lowest ever.

As with everything else the leftists touch the movie industry has turned into a heaping pile of garbage. Sunday was just a celebration by the left destroying what’s left of our once great American culture!

Didn’t stop Fox and phony midget Gutfed from shamelessly pimping that garbage.
