The Academy Awards are facing serious criticism after the latest ceremony, with many in the industry calling it disappointing and awkward.
A member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences even reportedly described the show as “a huge failure,” showing just how frustrated some insiders are.
The comment added to growing concerns about the future of the awards show.
People behind the scenes feel that the Oscars are slowly losing their charm as viewership has dwindled and many think the show no longer connects with audiences like it once did.
From a slow pace to awkward moments during the live broadcast, the ceremony has struggled to keep people entertained.
What’s more worrying is that even those within the Academy are unsure of what to do next.
One insider admitted that “no one knows how to save him,” which shows how serious the situation has become.
Even with all the criticism, the Oscars remain one of the biggest events in Hollywood, but for now there is clear pressure to make changes.
Many people believe that the show needs a new approach to win back viewers and become exciting again for a new generation.
