Nothing is so bad that things can't get worse. President Joe Biden has that skill set to make it happen. The Oscar slap last night -- an actor walking onto the international televised stage to slap another actor -- some would argue was about as bad as it could get. Well, now breaking news, President Biden has said he has not "walked back" any of his earlier statements regarding "regime change," but stated that "regime change" was not US policy.
The ultimate "face slap"?
And some thought "mean tweets" were uncalled for.
From a reader:
Academy Awards televised ratings, link here:
The 2022 Oscars drew more viewers than last year’s record-low ceremony, but still fell well below prior years as award shows struggle to attract primetime attention.The nearly four-hour telecast drew 15.36 million viewers according to time-zone-adjusted fast national numbers from Nielsen.
The audience figures show a 56% improvement over the 2021 ceremony, which drew an all-time low of 10.4 million viewers and prompted the Academy and ABC to shake up the program in an attempt to woo more viewers.
Despite the changes, the 2022 Oscars were the second least viewed of all time. Before last year (year of the plague), the ceremony had never dipped below 20 million viewers.
The 2020 ceremony, which aired on 9 February, a more typical date for the program, averaged 23.6 million viewers. The 2019 Oscars, the first year in decades the show aired without a host, drew 29.6 million viewers.
