After decades of loud activity in the industry, viewers seem to be losing interest in the Oscars.<\/p>\n
As Politico noted ahead of Sunday\u2019s ceremony, Oscar viewership was 46 million in 2000. However, last year\u2019s figures dropped to 20 million, with the decline steadily worsening over the past decade.<\/p>\n
Californians\u2019 attitude toward Hollywood is proving to be increasingly cautious.<\/p>\n
A recent poll from the UC Berkeley Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research-POLITICO showed that 48% of Californians believe the industry has excessive political influence in the state, while only 29% view it positively.<\/p>\n
The division is even sharper when results are analyzed by party affiliation. Eighty-one percent of Republican voters consider Hollywood to be overly liberal, in contrast to 23% of Democrats who share this view.<\/p>\n
\u201cHollywood\u2019s image is liberal, so liberals and Democrats don\u2019t have a problem with that, unlike Republicans,\u201d emphasized Jack Citrin, a political science professor at the University of Berkeley. \u201cIf I owned a studio, I would want to know whether the voice of liberal actors in my films alienates the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The poll, conducted from February 23 to March 3 among 1,220 registered voters, had a margin of error of \u00b12.8%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
