Is the Oscars So White Controversy the Reason Behind this Year's Drop in Viewership?

Posted by James, 28 Feb

The viewership of the Oscars awards has dropped significantly over the last two years. The controversy revolving around the #OscarsSoWhite movement seems to be one of the key reasons this drop in viewership is happening.

This social media movement was an attack against the lack of diversity amongst the Oscar's nominees. The prediction was that viewers will be turned off by this. And going by the drop in viewership, the speculation seems just about right.

One of the other reasons cited is the political controversies surrounding president Donald Trump's administration. The entertainment industry seems to be largely opposed to Trump.

In just three years, the Oscars has lost about 10 million viewers. Meanwhile, the Golden Globes awards and the Grammy awards seem to be doing pretty well. Their ratings have increased significantly.

The inclusion of Black nominees this year seems not to have borne fruit. Some people don't see it as a real thing; just a reaction to the #OscarsSoWhite movement. The infamous actress Viola Davis believes the Oscars so white reign is far from over. People just didn't buy it. As Davis put it:

"I believe what still is a deficiency is that we have one year a plethora of African American movies and then the next year nothing.”

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
