And there would be peace across the land.

This is a prime example of FALSE EQUIVALENCY.
Let me be clear. I have no dog in this race. In my entire almost 80 years on this earth, I have never watched an award show...for TV, Movies, or whatever. NEVER ONCE.
Now, you make claims that have no validity..none. I can make a better case for the idea that the entertainment world, especially TV is severely fragmented with all the options.
Viewership has nothing to do with what you keep proclaiming....facts is, in the week you speak of, the NFL was leading all the ratings.
Everything is not about what YOU say it is.
Second piece of FALSE EQUIVALENCY is what YOU proclaim to be the view of half the population, which I can show, if you believe in polls, and probably now you don't, is wrong.
Everything in this world and nation does not revolve around what you try to make everything about.
My opinion, admittedly my opinion, you would be expressing different opinions had the targets or type of humor been a little different.
