Why aren't people watching award shows anymore?

I've never seen a show as big as GoT have such a huge drop in public interest after it ended.

>giving a bunch of attention whore narcissists even more attention for playing pretend

Because they give awards to garbage like GoT.

Get L O S T

This is clearly BLUMPF’s fault

Because they are stupid and boring.

The shows on tv are fucking garbage now. Why would I watch a boring awards ceremony where they give out undeserving awards to a pack of fuckwits for their terrible tv shows?

Too many platforms and competition for entertainment. Video game streaming. Binge shows. Reality crap. Social media. Thots.

There just isn't a centralized need to care about tv anymore. The only thing the public cares about is ratings and viewing parties. Unless you're gay then you might care.

Because it's not streamed online, that's the reason why. It's an over the air program (for free) that they haven't changed to being free over the internet then bitch about not having views.

/thread.

This is more or less what I was gonna say. Award shows were probably popular initially due to lack of options, they’re not exactly entertaining, but hey, before the internet and streaming and a trillion cable channels with DVR it may have been the most interesting thing on TV that night but now you can anything else instead of watching that boring ass shit. Quality+access to it whenever you want kills the awards show

NOOOOOOOO

Westworld would be a contender, first season was pure kino, second season was absolute fucking trash and killed my interest.

Because they are giving universally hate shit likt GoT S8 awards.

Shows it wasn't a real fandom just a bunch of brainless zombies comsuming the current popular product who move onto the next one when it finishes

This is Trump's America. Sad.

Award shows are boring and too long.

Exactly my thoughts.
Want to add:
Its boring. Just look it up a day later without the narcistic speeches.

Why was Patricia Arquette ranting about trannies? It's not like her 'sister' was murdered or discriminated against for no reason. That's why no one wants to see this shit anymore.

Because they try to pass off ugly bitches like Sophia Turner as attractive

"but we're pandering as hard as we can!"

what happened?

Patricia Arquette ranted about women and realized no one gave a shit, so she's switching tactics for attention.

people aren't watching tv in general

it seems the only that keeps steady is boomercore

This desu, HBO deliberately targetted an audience known for only caring about fads. It was always gonna be forgotten once the next thing came along.

Many such cases

There are better things to watch on streaming services plus sports

went woke. but other then that, it was needlessly convoluted, and alot of the plot points just didn't matter.
>there are close to a million things that happen between the ideation of a television show and the screen—actors and directors sign on and off, production is delayed, the scripts change, and so forth. So for a show that is in most basic sense is about artificially intelligent robot “hosts” fighting back against the humans who oppress them, Westworld's resonance with the #MeToo, Time’s Up, and March for Our Lives movements is uncanny. The reckoning happening in Westworld—made emphatically apparent by the trailer for season 2—feels like a spooky parallel for the reckoning in our lives.
At the eye of the resistance in Westworld is Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores, a robot farmer’s daughter who “wakes up” and (spoiler alert) enacts this show’s equivalent of a Red Wedding at the end of the first season. Now, it's apparent that Dolores seizes a leadership role with the other hosts in Westworld and fosters a rebellion. In the season 2 teaser that aired during the Super Bowl, Dolores says via voiceover: “We’ve lived by your rules long enough. We can save this world. We can burn it to the ground, and from the ashes build a new world—our world.”
Dolores is one of the more fascinating women characters in TV of late, and the role, Wood explained, has had an impact on her personally. In February, Wood appeared before a House Judiciary Subcommittee in support of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Act. As she testified about her own experience as a survivor of sexual assault, it was difficult not to draw connections to Dolores. In fact, Wood revealed, on the day she testified on Capitol Hill she wore a locket containing a picture of her Westworld character. Here, Wood teases what to expect from season 2, and explains how #MeToo may or may not have shaped the future of Westworld.

I'm really happy for Jodie Comer, though, and I love the fact she still kept her natural accent.

It's because the ending was so bad it has no rewatch appeal and anyone who has seen it isn't going to tell their friends to watch it

As an example as soon as I finished LoGH I wanted to rewatch it just to see if I missed anything important in the first few seasons

This, but
>wanting to watch a bunch of rich people get awards then talk about their politics

GoT would have been forgotten if it was a good ending (at least as good as it could have been after ruining S5-7). In fact I'd say the people still hating on it are the ones keeping the memory of the show alive. If it was good it would be even less known.

What a retarded and unfounded argument

It's true though, nobody has talked about GoT since it ended except for how shitty it was. If it ended on a high nobody would talk about it at all.

There once was a time when award shows had the flair of authenticity. Now they're not even trying anymore. Everyone knows it's not about merit but all politics and PR.

it already seemed extremely 'woke' to me in season 1.
did they kill the ed harris character? he didn't appear i the trailer you posted.

Because they give out awards based on what earns them the most kickbacks and good boy points

If it ended on a high people would be talking about expanding the series

Why would I watch a show about a bunch of rich peeeoppleee...zzzzzzz

Because everyone has finally realised its all polticial bullshit, (both hollywood politics and IRL politics) and in no way representative of whats actually good or not. So fuck that gay ass shit mf

You can just look up the winners online after its over and save 3 hours.

turns out he was a robot, but he killed his daughter on the episode that was aired on farther day so there's that. most of the other hosts were uploaded to the cloud/amazon aws or some shit, you didn't miss much. the park was original setup for mapping the human mind, so they could eventually be uploaded to host bodies, humans bad/robots good.

No they wouldn't lol, GoT fans are lobotomites who just follow whatever is currently popular.
You realise there are a huge amount of fans who WERE happy with Season 8, and they still don't talk about it at all anymore.

watch that if you're interested.

i think the whole show would not have been created if the writers had read a single philosophy book concerned with 'freedom of will'

Why do they need 4 to 6 awards a fucking year?

positive reinforcement

>awards show
>3 hours of unfunny jokes and industry wankering
I'm more surprised there is an audience for such thing.

To me contributing to the low viewership has become more entertaining than watching the show.

There are literally no good shows out right now. Not a fucking single one. Nothing that has good direction, acting, or cinematography. It's all direct to video netflix garbage or major corporate shit.

So what's our option? We tune into an award show where nothing good happens and a bunch of nobodies win awards for pumping out bullshit? Then they stand up on a podium and basically give a speech about the working class sucks and fuck the president and blah blah blah. Yeah I hope these award shows go fucking bankrupt.

here are my predictions for winners:

>something something anti-Trump
>feminist woman SLAYS in the workplace
>documentary about niggers being victims
>those poor illegal Mexicans
>climate change hysteria

>You have Michelle Williams, winning for her work on Fosse/Verdon, using her platform to champion equal pay for women and extend her megaphone to women of color. Patricia Arquette, winning for The Act, mourned the loss of her sister, Alexis Arquette, and preached support for the trans community. Alex Borstein, accepting for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, told a moving story about the generations of strong-willed women in her family and what came of their bravery, ending with a rally cry: “Step out of line, ladies. Step out of line.”

Pretty lame

Honestly I might actually watch if they just cut the mic at the actual time limit for speeches. Everybody always thanks their friends and family before getting to their supposedly important message about millionares not getting paid enough

How are these people real?
Meave literally singlehandedly ruined the entire series. How the fuck can people like that shallow husk of a "character"? How the absolute fuck?
Not to mention how incredibly bad her Japanese was. Jesus fucking christ, they literally didn't give a fuck, did they?

The Simpsons won best animated comedy. How many years has it been since the Simpsons was the funniest comedy on TV?
I personally like Bob’s Burgers which premiered in 2011. Plus, Archer had like 3-4 good years where it was better than The Simpsons.
Before Archer, KotH was still on the air.
The Emmys can’t even pander to people correctly, because they could have just given the award to Pickle Rick and earned the respect of legions of bergers.

Also, GoT would have swept the drama categories of HBO had ponied up the cash. But there’s nothing to be gained now that it’s over and D&D killed the long-term prospects of the IP

Can just go to twitter for results and clips

>game of thrones wins best drama
>the shitheap series that killed the franchise

Well, alright.

Famous people are boring now.

I only watched it because I finished watching football early and to see Emilia Clarke get destroyed.

they are watching shit online and don't own a tv because they think they need to pay to watch a fucking FREE over the air antenna network

Well put

Angry /pol/tards will say it's because everyone hates rich, liberal celebrities and doesn't want to see them get awards.
In reality it's because normies can just look up who won online after the fact, completely eliminating the need to watch.

Watching people who play pretend for a living trying to make what they do into a social virtue and themselves feel superior is cringe, and not the good kind.

They were tricked by the media into thinking that media circlejerks matter to people outside of the media industry

why would I care about white people dress up parties

>first season was pure kino
Season 1 was so bad that I never even touched 2, how do these people exist?

I mean, it’s not like you can’t just look up sports scores, but people still watch them, too. Hell many people watch the super bowl game just for the side entertainment and commercials.

The show is boring and tries so hard to be woke. Most regular folk don’t care for it, just like they didn’t want political BS in football.

Do dislikes even do anything on youtube comments? It used to hide comments that had too many dislikes but now it's just there, it doesn't even affect the like ratio of the comment.

>it’s not like you can’t just look up sports scores
The difference is that watching a game live is an actual exciting experience whereas award shows are boring as hell.
It has nothing to do with their liberal politics, something /pol/ desperately wants to believe.

>the thrill of sports vs some old fucks naming names
Good comparison.

>pompous sheltered champagne socialist stand on a self serving pedestal for hours accepting subjective awards while berating middle-class citizens about IMBEACH GRUMPFT
Gee I can’t figure out why

>My 'sister' died of an HIV-related heart attack
>This is somehow society's fault
Didn't get it either

back in the day when there were only five channels on tv celebrities were a much bigger deal

today we have YouTube and Instagram's etc..
the pool is a lot wider and more shallow

>brrrRRRRRRAAAOOOOWWW
>*BOMF*

>MILLENIALS ARE KILLING THE AWARD INDUSTRY

That’s the point. It’s boring and it tries too hard to be woke. I know you’re obsessed with politics if you have to bring up /pol/, but regular people actually don’t care for tranny rights and that stuff they were talking about on stage. They didn’t like when people tried to get political in football in recent years, why would they want it elsewhere?

If you think it can’t be both, then you haven’t been paying attention.

The sheer volume of post-show coverage specifically discussing “x calls for equal pay” or “y champions transgender rights” says otherwise.
It’s not /pol/, it’s Entertainment Tonight and People, incredibly mainstream shit that is designed to appeal to everybody.

It’s not even a new phenomena, didn’t Marlon Brando stick an Indian on stage for him and had her talk about their portrayal in the media?

Because we recognize how little the awards have to do with quality now. They’ve changed over the past couple of decades, become more about sending political messages than recognizing quality and innovation. There was always a “popularity contest” undertone to them, but at least there used to be a pretense of impartiality.

watching hollywood-made movies =/= paying attention to internal hollywood bullshit such as award shows.

Comedies aren't supposed to be funny sweetie. Thats sexist.

I was interested but instead of watching I just looked up who won. Im sure lots of people streamed it as well. People consume media differently these days. Its not as cut and dry as ratings anymore.

>Watching out of touch millionaires jerk each other off while simultaneously trying to brainwash the masses
I'm not about that life

Awards shows are for women and they would rather watch their phones.

Imagine the look on any American's face from the 50s when they see pic related

Yeah, I enjoy watching people suck each other dick with shallow political pandering to make them appear woke before they get wasted at the afterparty with other rich celebs.

Why isn't that worth watching?

Who was talking and what were they saying ?

Thanks, got to make an appointment soon!

The funny thing is you’re right, Comedies don’t technically have to be funny - historically, something was a Comedy if everyone in the play came out of it happy and alive. Don’t need a single joke.

>the gilf in the silver isnt even watching it
It's Annette Bening you fucking zoom zoom. Not that you're wrong, but still.

Remember when the media desperately tried to reignite interest in the Emmy’s with Ellen’s “culturally significant” selfie? It’s incredible how hard they pushed that as the Most Important Thing.

>self-referential show about rich movie stars patting each other in the back
hmmm

This. Trump outstarred them all. I went to Madame Tussaud's wax museum and Trump had by far the biggest line of people waiting to take a pic next to it's wax statue . Much more than the Queen who came in second.

I was watching a Melee tournament and didn't even know the Emmys were on. God knows how distracted zoomer normies with better things to do were. They're sure as shit not gathering 'round the ol' tube on Sunday night and watching boomer dying old media. Tom Holland sending out a snap of his flat tire would probably have more reach.

No white people whatsoever.

They really rushed it to get within 3 hours, though. All the pageantry is gone. There were more kino moments on the red carpet than in the actual broadcast.

Standard format tv is dead but I think its because now we are so steeped in streaming culture. Why would I watch the emmys when I can watch something on netflix or Amazon?

The funny thing is, given this, I think more people would have actually watched it if it was streamed on netflix just for the novelty of seeing a live event streamed on the most popular streaming platform.

If Netflix ever gets into live events and sports, its over for traditional television. But I don't see that happening, especially for sports, since that requires even more money than Netflix possesses.

Yeah the dresses drive like 80% of the publicity. Award shows and movie premiers are the only reasons young actresses have to wear glamorous shit for people to fawn over, and the only time designers will get their stuff in the magazines.
If you catch someone like Maisie Williams or Sophie Turner out in New York or London they’re probably wearing shorts and ripped fishnets or something.
Ball gowns don’t have a lot of utility.

Only white people care about stupid shit like this and Anerica is less white every year
