Seth Rogers is baffled by Hollywood’s need to have people care about the Academy Awards. In an interview with the Insider on the promotion of his new Super Bowl commercial, he stated that “maybe people just don’t care” about the Oscars anymore and Hollywood should stop making it a priority to ensure they do.

The television ratings for the Oscars have reduced over the years. Last year’s broadcast, in which Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland took home the Oscar for best picture and best director, generated only 9.23 million viewers, a 51% drop from the 18.69 million who watched the Academy Awards in 2020.
