Are we seeing the end of award shows?

And it seems across the board that viewership is really declining on a lot of these award shows. Now, I personally don't watch a lot of award shows. I know you may find that hard to believe, but I do not. But I really kind of wanted to ask the community if you watch the award shows, do you find yourself not watching many more?

And so I know that for myself, I didn't see most of the movies that were nominated this year and without nominations and having seen them, I kind of feel like I'm not that interested in what's happening. So I passed on the Oscars, and I used to watch the Oscars religiously, and I'm an ex actor. So if I'm passing on the Oscars, I'm kind of thinking that other people are doing the same. So, yeah, you might be right

And to find out that they're not even being talked about in that circuit, I think sort of hints to you that I use this phrase a lot, but it's sort of a big club, and we're not in it. And I think that that's true of a lot of filmmakers in Hollywood

The Internet has changed everything.

What were they going to wear? What type of antics were going to be performed? And what cool new ways can they go about making music or doing skits and such? Right. But now all that happens on the Internet on Instagram, it's an award show every day in terms of outfits and things of that nature. And I feel with the ratings dipping as low as it does, this does not translate to the trending when the Oscars happen

Great responses! Live events discussion is interesting!

And I think about one of the biggest moments in Grammy history when Michael Jackson did The Moonwalk. Well, if you want to watch Michael Jackson Do The Moonwalk or something similar, you don't have to wait for hours to actually see it. You go on YouTube and you can watch it at any time that you want
