The Oscars are facing serious criticism after the latest ceremony, with many in the industry calling it disappointing and awkward.
According to reports, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences even described the show as “a big fat dud,” showing how frustrated some insiders are.
The comment added to growing concerns about the future of the awards ceremony.
People behind the scenes feel that the Oscars are slowly losing their charm as viewership has dropped, and many believe that the show no longer connects with audiences the way it used to.
From slow pace to uncomfortable moments during the live broadcast, the ceremony has struggled to keep people entertained.
What is more worrying is that even those in academia are unsure of what to do now.
An insider admitted that “no one knows how to save it,” which shows how dire the situation has become.
Even with all the criticism, the Oscars are still one of the biggest events in Hollywood, but for now there is a clear push to make changes.
Many people believe that the show needs a fresh approach to win back viewers and feel exciting again for a new generation.
