city Tinseltown: Last News

last year’s historically low ratings, but cratered in civility and grace.Strike another death knell for the once-almighty ratings grabber.Tinseltown likes to think of itself as the center of the moral and pop culture universe, but c’mon — that was ridiculous, another slap in the face for what’s supposed to be (but rarely is) “Hollywood’s Shining Moment,” with television along for the ride on a gravy train that’s gone off the rails and crashed into a wall of indifference.Sunday night’s Oscarcast on ABC is the second-lowest-rated Oscars ever with around 15 million viewers, up from last year’s abysmal 10.4 million viewing audience (akin to an episode of “Yellowstone” on cable’s Paramount Network).

Guests will only need to show a negative PCR test or a negative rapid antigen test on the day of the ceremony.But it seems not airing the makeup, hair, sound and other categories is a sticking point for Tinseltown.Cinema Audio Society president Karol Urban confirmed Thursday that there is a game plan for guests to don their guild badges upside down during Sunday’s show, according to Deadline.Another part of the strategy will be for winners to flip their Oscars when they get on stage to accept them during the ceremony.“There is a multitude of different organizations that are working together to find ways to circumvent having their voices clipped,” Urban, who leads the pack for representations of sound mixers, said.She continued, “As the Oscars get closer, more and more craft people are showing solidarity.
