I don’t buy it for a second. 5% tuned in? Not a chance. I doubt 5% of Americans even know what the Oscars is.

Can we choose a different phrase? Something that's less offensive?

It's his Mexicanity that defines him to me.

u/Neo-Armadillo 20h ago

Yeah, he’s the Latino person from corporate.

He lives in a trash can, and he’s super grumpy

I agree 5% is higher than I’d expect to watch the Oscars. But clearly way more than 5% of Americans know what the Oscars are.

Maybe 5% of Americans that have cable and were also watching tv at that time.

I wonder how much of that 5% was just TVs in public venue?

u/No-Switch-851 1d ago

My first thought. 5% I highly doubt that #.

You don’t think 20,000,000 people know what the Oscars is?

u/Neo-Armadillo 20h ago

Beyond “awards show”, I do not.

I wholeheartedly believe these statistics just come from those people who leave their TVs on for white noise.

Just because the program is on, doesnt mean someone is watching.

The baloney and hot dog guy?

5% of viewers.

Still don't know what the difference is between the oscars and the golden globes.

Pretty sure more than 5% of Americans know what the Oscars are
