"Oscars are on ABC? How do I watch that?"

And then they give up because they don't have access to it. Meanwhile the game awards were on twitch and youtube.

It's not an Oscars problem as much as it is a network TV problem. Everything is in decline compared to streaming.

My guess is different measurements; television ratings tend to be reported by average viewers throughout the program; streams will often report viewership based on anyone who tuned in at any time.

I only get it through Hulu, but if I didn't have Hulu, I wouldn't be able to get it as I don't have cable anymore. A lot of people are switching from cable to streaming services.

I actually agree with the other posters. If it was streamed it would have seen record numbers. Streaming is rising like digital is, viewership for the most part is down across the board.

You don't need cable for network TV though...

Do people just not own antennas anymore?

I mean, I didn't watch the Oscars either but it was because I didn't want to.

I'm curious to see how the Oscars would do if it was available to stream worldwide. But they're probably too tied to networks to be able to do it?

I don't own an antenna. I actually have a cable box from Spectrum but couldn't be arsed to install it.

When the oscars come around, I usually find a bootleg stream online, which means of course that my viewership doesn't count toward their numbers. Though this year I watched at a friend's house.

Why waste hours watching an awards show when you can look up the results online?

I would also wager that on average there were fewer people watching per device for the VGAs compared to the oscars. Oscars are shown on TV, which means it's likelier to be in a common area, and people are likelier to group up and watch them together (and oscar viewing parties aren't uncommon). The VGA on the other hand have a lot of people watching at their computer desk or on their phone even, more likely to be watching alone.

Though to be fair, the Dorito Pope himself was humble about this anyways, like any true honorable pope
