Seth Rogen Doesn't Think People Care About The Oscars Anymore
Actor Seth Rogen doesn't think people care about the Oscars anymore. Rogen is the comedic actor of such hits as Knocked-Up, Superbad, Observe and Report, This is the End, Neighbors, and Long Shot. He's also the producer of shows like Preacher, The Boys, and Invincible, as well as a new animated version of the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Rogen is currently appearing in the Hulu mini-series Pam & Tommy.
The Academy Awards, also known as The Oscars, is an annual awards show put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is meant to recognize the best films of the year. Winners are chosen by members of the academy, which numbers just over 7,000 members, who vote on the nominees. The winners are announced during an annual telecast where the winners are given an engraved golden trophy and typically give a speech. The telecast began in 1929 and has continued ever since. However, in recent years, the Oscars telecast has been sinking in ratings, with the most recent telecast, the 93rd Academy Awards, being the lowest viewership recorded since 1974 with 10.4 million viewers.
