ABC is in for a "Crash" landing in the Oscar ratings.
The Academy Awards were down 10 percent from last year's ceremony, based on preliminary Nielsen Media Research ratings from the nation's 55 biggest markets. If the full national ratings follow suit later Monday, this year's ceremony will likely be the second least-watched Oscars telecast behind 2003, when "Chicago" won best picture.
The ceremony, where "Crash" won a surprise best picture trophy, drew a 27.1 rating and a 40 share. Each rating point is equivalent to 1.1 million homes, while the share indicates that 40 percent of the TVs in use last night were tuned to the awards.
Last year's metered markets had a 30.1 rating and 43 share, Nielsen said.
Hollywood is showing more and more, day after day, that they do not know how to entertain the American people. Movie ticket sales are down about 7% this year, the Oscars down 10%...because Hollywood is forcing their morality, beliefs and views on us...and less and less of us like it.
When you have five movies up for best picture and only one made over $100 million, you have a problem. I know, I know...the theatre/art types are much smarter than the average American...they know what is good, and we need to be taught a lesson.
Well guys, it seems it is you that need the lesson. Keep your artsy, fartsy political crap in your little circles and exclusive parties, we really are tired of hearing it.

Damn straight.
I went to see Syriana a few months ago, expecting an intelligent action/thriller. Instead it was preachy over-the-top Communist propaganda. The movie felt like Professor Chomsky droning on and on in his boring, paranoid style.
Mark Steyn is pure awesome:

Thats crap. DVD sales grow astronomically every year. So are rentals. People arent turning away from Hollywood, they just arent going to the theaters. Same goes for similar conclusions from that fool article.
Gee, I took you for a Chomsky devotee, Jason. :)
