The Oscars are in the ratings, and this year’s ceremony landed with a resounding wave.
Around 9.85 million viewers participated in it, According to variety, A drop of more than 58% from the all-time low of 23.6 million viewers last year, while the 2019 celebrations began 29.6 million the audience. The ceremony landed a 1.9 rating for adults ages 18 to 49, a decline of 64.2% from 2020.
Despite the disappointing audience, the 2021 Oscars were filled with many surprises, setbacks and fascinating moments.
In the “Charming” category, Daniel Kaluuya’s speech was when he won Best Supporting Actor for “Judas and the Black Messiah” – and made an off-cuff sex jock about his parents, much to his mother’s reaction Was more, given their reaction. the audience.
“Nomlandland” director Chloe Zhao also won a historic victory as the first Asian woman to take the best director trophy.
“I think that trying to see and understand the world from the other person’s perspective is the only way we can survive as a species,” she said in her speech.
The biggest shocker and flub of the night was Anthony Hopkins’ Best Actor win for “The Father”.
The film was a terrific performance from Hopkins, but the moment landed awkwardly as the telecast was clearly set up with the hopes of winning the late Chadwick Boseman a posthumous victory.
And, thanks to this, producer Steven Soderbergh had established the ceremony without Zoom’s speeches – Hopkins, who was not in person, did not end it with a speech. So the ceremony ended with a big fat “yikes” moment.
He later dedicated his victory to Bosman.
At least next year is still there. The 2022 Oscars are scheduled for February 27, 2022.
