Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping
Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are. For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...
I also am one who doesn't really fan page over Harry Styles. Just like you, I understand how some may be obsessed with him, but I also don't really become obsessed with artists. I want to see the spring show so I can see how you are going to incorporate Harry Styles.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I am a big fan of Harry Styles and I went to the concert on October 8. I have been a fan of him since elementary school when I liked One Direction, and I have just followed his career through. He definitely isn't for everyone, but he is talented.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you! I do not understand the hype on Harry Styles. He is talented as an artist and makes good songs, although I do not become obsessed with artists like this. I enjoy listening to the music and to 1D music, although people have become extremely obsessed over a single artist.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the hype around Harry Styles. I get that people love certain artists but the fandom for Harry is like nothing I have ever seen before. I know way to many people that are obsessed with him and it drives me crazy. I also never really get excited for these types of things so maybe that's it? Not to be mean to anyone who likes him but maybe it is just a phase.
ReplyDeleteI also am not a big fan of Harry Styles. I know some of his songs and the majority are good but, I feel as if they are overplayed way too much. A few of my friends went to the Harry Styles concert and I honestly don't get the hype. Personally, I enjoy One Direction songs more but even then, I am not obsessed with their songs either. For me, with any artist, I get sick of songs relatively quickly.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Harry Styles fan, I understand where you are coming from. Our fandom can be a little crazy sometimes, but I think it is just because we all really enjoy Harry's music. A while ago I was confused too. I had nothing against Harry Styles and I enjoyed his music, but I did not really get the hype. Now that I am apart of the fandom, I think the obsession is more towards the sense of community and happiness that people get out of his music.
