The Decline of the Oscars: Political Bias and Audience Disengagement
The Oscars, once considered a must-watch event in American entertainment, have experienced a significant decline in viewership over recent years.

However, today, the event faces declining ratings and a changing audience sentiment, driven by a combination of celebrity overexposure, the industry's political stance, and a perceived loss of entertainment value.
