Variety: Oscar telecast lowest rated in 9 years. notfabio Feb 27, 13:05

They have to trim a *lot* of fat. Jay_Beezy Feb 27, 13:30

The problem is not all the awards but all the extra stuff they added that I mostly muted and browsed on the computer {nm} JDolphin Feb 27, 13:33

they've literally been saying that the morning after every Oscars as long as i've been watching. they'll never trim the fat {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 27, 13:37

I think the last time ratings didn't go down was the year of 'Titanic'. CSBD Feb 27, 13:44

They keep adding fat. {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 27, 14:10

About to say the same exact thing. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 27, 14:10

category fat aside, that was one of the funniest Oscar shows in years, I thought...I want Jimmy Kimmel back next year! {nm} tealfan Feb 27, 15:07

Start the show an hour earlier. Best Picture was announced after midnight on the east coast. {nm} fourstars Feb 27, 15:20

Maybe the stuff up was deliberate to attract viewers next year. Phillips Feb 27, 15:54

People really only want to see the acting categories and Best Picture. They need halve the awards they broadcast & down to two hours. leo21 Feb 27, 16:24

the Academy is made up of more than actors. it takes a village to make a movie {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 27, 19:02

that's why I never understood why people felt Best Director should also win Best Picture...I like to think of BP as a "team" award :) tealfan Feb 28, 10:53

Pretty much every acting award was predicted--not much suspense there. {nm} CG63 Feb 27, 19:39
