  1. I don’t get why Sunday nights are the big TV night. I’m thinking too much of the coming Monday morning work day. I’d rather read a book and wind down. The Jacqueline Bisset acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was fun though. As for Sunday nights though, that’s what a PVR is for.

  2. agreed!! who cares now a days? if anything really superb happens it’ll be on twitter in the morning and I can still keep up with convo around the water cooler

  3. I have to side with Ricky Gervais here. Most award shows exist so celebrities can blow sunshine up each other’s bums and so they can get up and give their utterly valueless political opinions to show everyone how liberal and forward thinking they are. In the words of Mr. Gervais–“I don’t care”

  4. Unless it’s something/someone I’m invested in, and I want to see if that person or their work or the works they are involved in wins then I’ll tune in. But most times, I won’t watch. Usually, I’ll catch the recap on either the news or the internet the next morning and that’s enough for me. Like you and most of us, we don’t have the time to sit and watch these shows that usually go over most times.

    The funny thing now, is that there may not even be an awards season this year because of the writers/actors strike going on at the moment.

  5. I believe it’s because Sunday night is primetime television. That’s the big time slot for most things, including the Super Bowl.

  6. Yes – to all. Since I wrote this originally, we’ve also seen the rise of TikTok/Instagram Reels, and frankly, they can be more entertaining than anything on TV. The whole industry is struggling for people’s attention.
