We get it: You didn’t see Parasite. Maybe that’s why you decided to skip the 92nd Academy Awards, and boy did it show: The ABC telecast hit an all-time low in viewership.
Nielsen reports that only 23.6 million people tuned in for the three-and-a-half hour extravaganza — down 6 million from last year’s first-ever hostless telecast (29.6 million viewers). Forgoing an emcee worked out well in 2019: The show was up 11 percent versus 2018, when it averaged 26.5 million. But the lack of a Billy Crystal or an Ellen DeGeneres didn’t seem to have the same appeal this year.
Despite a few random moments (was that really you, Enimem?) reviews for Sunday’s telecast weren’t that bad. EW’s own Darren Franich gave it a B+. But viewership of the Oscars continues to trend downward. Here’s how last night show ranks versus previous years:
2020: 23.6 million (Best Picture winner: Parasite)
2019: 29.6 million (Green Book)
2018: 26.5 million (The Shape of Water)
2017: 32.9 million (Moonlight)
2016: 34.4 million (Spotlight)
2015: 37.2 million (Birdman)
2014: 43.7 million (12 Years a Slave)
2013: 40.3 million (Argo)
2012: 39.3 million (The Artist)
2011: 37.9 million (The King’s Speech)
2010: 41.7 million (The Hurt Locker)
2009: 36.3 million (Slumdog Millionaire)
2008: 32.0 million (No Country for Old Men)
2007: 40.1 million (The Departed)
2006: 38.9 million (Crash)
2005: 42.1 million (Million Dollar Baby)
2004: 43.5 million (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
2003: 33.0 million (Chicago)
2002: 41.7 million (A Beautiful Mind)
2001: 42.9 million (Gladiator)
2000: 46.3 million (American Beauty)
1999: 45.6 million (Shakespeare in Love)
1998: 55.2 million (Titanic)
 
Eminem explains his surprise Oscars performance, reveals why he didn't attend in 2003

Eminem is opening up about his surprise Oscars performance Sunday night, which came 17 years after he won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for 8 Mile‘s anthem “Lose Yourself.”

The moment was notable because the rapper wasn’t on hand at the ceremony in 2003 to accept the award or perform the song, but when the opportunity to hit the Oscars’ stage this year came up, he decided to take advantage.

“I kinda figured maybe since I didn’t get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool. Back then, I never even thought that I had a chance to win, and we had just performed ‘Lose Yourself’ on the Grammys with the Roots a couple of weeks before the Oscars, so we didn’t think it was a good idea,” he said in a new interview with Variety, adding, “And also, back at that time, the younger me didn’t really feel like a show like that would understand me.”



He told the outlet that he also remembers being “confused” about why he was up for the Oscar in the first place, and was shocked that he had won, but wasn’t necessarily disappointed that he wasn’t at the ceremony. As for what he was doing instead? The rapper recalled being at home. “I think I was just at home with my daughter — and I didn’t watch it, either. At that point in time Hailie had to be at school early in the morning, so [I was sleeping],” he said.

The “Lose Yourself” performance on Sunday was one of the best-kept secrets of the night, but it all came together very smoothly and quickly. Apparently, 8 Mile was already supposed to be in one of the montages during the Oscars, and the show’s producers asked the rapper if he wanted to be involved and he agreed, in part because the timing worked out well with the recent surprise release of his latest album, Music to Be Murdered By.

In order to keep the performance a surprise, he and the musicians involved rehearsed just “four or five times,” mostly offsite. As for why it had to be kept a secret? “I don’t know, I think it was either [the Oscars’] idea or [longtime manager Paul Rosenberg] and [his publicist Dennis Dennehy’s] idea before they brought it to me. It was presented to me that way and I said, ‘Oh that’s kinda dope, to not even announce it,'” he said.
 
Eminem Reveals Why He Finally Performed at the Oscars, 17 Years Later (EXCLUSIVE)

Eminem rarely does interviews, and a conversation about last night’s surprise performance of “Lose Yourself” at the Academy Awards — some 17 years after the song won him an Oscar — would seem rarer still. The performance in many ways was a belated do-over: He’d decided not to attend the ceremony in 2003, leaving his collaborator Luis Resto to accept the award — from Barbra Streisand, no less — in his place.

Last night’s appearance — which immediately followed a montage celebrating the sound editing/mixing award, which wound down with footage from “8 Mile” — got a rapturous reaction from many screen stars in the crowd. Some of the relatively younger ones were seen singing along, and everyone from Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio to Billie Eilish and Anthony Ramos standing and applauding at the end.







Eminem (real name: Marshall Mathers) has made a habit out of surprises in recent years. His last two albums, last month’s “Music to Be Murdered By” and 2018’s “Kamikaze,” were both surprise releases, and last night’s appearance was a tightly kept secret: Sources say the Dolby Theater was put on lockdown during rehearsals, and that if news leaked to the media, he had the option to cancel.



But it all came off without a hitch, and Eminem got on the phone with Variety this afternoon to chat with us about how it came together, why he decided not to attend the ceremony in 2003 — and what he was actually doing that night 17 years ago.

Last night’s performance certainly was a surprise — how did it all come together, and why this year?
I kinda figured maybe since I didn’t get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool. Back then, I never even thought that I had a chance to win, and we had just performed “Lose Yourself” on the Grammys with the Roots a couple of weeks before the Oscars, so we didn’t think it was a good idea. And also, back at that time, the younger me didn’t really feel like a show like that would understand me.

But then when I found out I won, “That’s crazy!” That to me shows how authentic and real that award is — when you don’t show up and you still win. That makes it very real to me.

Were you disappointed that you missed it?
I don’t know that I was disappointed, I was blown back by the fact that I won. I don’t even think I understood back then that you could get an Oscar for a song, and I remember being kinda confused about why I was even up for one, because as a kid with the Oscars, it was like a vacuum.

It would have been amazing to see you accept an Oscar from Barbra Streisand.
Yeah, that would have been crazy.


49.5K people are talking about this




So what did you end up doing that night?
I think I was just at home with my daughter — and I didn’t watch it, either. At that point in time Hailie had to be at school early in the morning, so [I was sleeping].

Luis Resto, my keyboard player who produces records with me, went up and accepted it — and I know people were probably like, “Who the f— is this guy?” So he called me, and I remember the phone kept ringing, and I’m like “Motherf—, I’m tryin’ to sleep!” But [I answered] and he’s like “Hey man, you won!” “I did? Sh–! Cool!” But that was a different time and I was in a different place in my life.

At the time some reports said you didn’t perform because the Oscars wanted you to do a censored version of the song?
Oh no, that wasn’t the case at all, because there’s not even that many cuss words in it — there’s only a couple. That’s not true at all.






But they did make an offer?
I think they did — yes, [longtime manager Paul Rosenberg] just said they did. He just said they even discussed having someone else perform it, because back then every nominated song had a performer.

Do you know who they were talking about having perform it?
[Asks Rosenberg] No, I don’t think it ever got off the ground.

Is there anyone you think would have been good?
I’d have to think about that one, I don’t have any idea. It probably would have been weird to have someone else do it.

Maybe 50 Cent, who you mentored and whose major-label debut had just come out at the time?
Oh sh–! Back then, if 50 was willing to do it, that’d have been cool… although it’s not really his style of song. Plus it’s personal.

Back to last night, did you enjoy it?
Absolutely. I got to hug Salma Hayek!

As for how it came together, I heard that “8 Mile” was already in the montage, and the Oscars just happened to ask and you said yes?
I think that’s pretty much how it went. And it was cool because we just put out an album, so we said maybe that’ll make sense with the timing of the new album.

It was a pretty elaborate band, with several musicians and a string section. How long did you rehearse?
We flew in [to Los Angeles] last week, so we probably have four or five rehearsals just to make sure we got everything right. Most of the rehearsals were offsite, not in [the Dolby Theater], just trying to keep it secret.

Why was it so important to keep it secret?
I don’t know, I think it was either [the Oscars’] idea or Paul and [longtime publicist Dennis Dennehy’s] idea before they brought it to me. It was presented to me that way and I said, “Oh that’s kinda dope, to not even announce it.”

Some people wondered if you’ve got another film in the pipeline — do you have any interest in doing more acting?
Um… I’m not gonna say I don’t , because if the right script comes along and it’s something that fits with my schedule I might take another dive in it.






Did you enjoy doing “8 Mile”?
I did … and I didn’t (laughs). There was a lot of stuff that was not, um… It was a lot of work, and it being my first film I was not really expecting that. And it’s tough when you’ve got to be on someone else’s schedule, with the way that I work. But yeah, I’m certainly glad that I did it, and there were parts that were definitely fun, it was just a lot.

You just put out an album three weeks ago, but can you say what you’ve got coming next?
I don’t really have anything coming up next, to be honest, just working this album and whatever videos come along next. But we don’t have anything written in stone just yet.

Any new artists you’re particularly impressed with?
Well, we had [rapper] Young M.A. on the album, and she’s definitely one of the new artists that I’m super excited about — every time she puts something out, I listen. And the guys we have signed to our label, [hip-hop group] Griselda, that’s exciting. YBN Cordae, he’s dope.

Okay, last question: You’ve gone after President Trump really hard in your lyrics and freestyles and even got interviewed by the Secret Service. Why do you think other major artists aren’t doing the same?
In the hip-hop world, there’s definitely some people that have gone at him. But I kinda feel that I’ve said what I had to say and people know where I stand on it, so … [dead silence, publicist wraps up call].
 
A Close Read of Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger’s Utterly Baffling Oscar Speeches
By Hunter Harris@hunteryharris

There comes a time in an actor’s life when they find themselves seated in the Dolby Theater for the 12th consecutive hour, and they are either working on their face of gracious defeat for when their name is not called out as a winner, or they are optimistically going over a victory speech in their head, ensuring they don’t forget this producer or that agent or that grip on stage. (Or they are running around the bar, asking why the Academy can’t “just do another ‘Shallow,’” which is probably the only reason I have not been invited to the Oscars.) On Sunday night, we got two excellent speeches from actors, and two less excellent ones: Brad Pitt and Laura Dern mixed the intimate with the courteous, thanking their famous families and famous co-stars and reflecting on lives spent in front of the camera. Lead acting winners Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger, however, had speeches of a different flavor up their sleeves.
It has been said, correctly and coincidentally by me, that Joe Pesci delivered the best-ever Oscar acceptance speech: “It was my privilege. Thank you.” But people keep winning Oscars, so people keep giving Oscar speeches. Today, in the glow of Parasite’s Best Picture win, we are gathered here to decipher two of the most puzzling acceptance speeches from the night: Zellweger accepting her award for playing Judy Garland in Judy, and Phoenix accepting his award for King of Comedy, Revisited, excuse me, that’d be Joker.

Thank you to the Academy. Thank you for inviting me here alongside one of the most special collaborations and meaningful experiences of my life.
Translation: Thank you for making me sit here, through three host-less hours of jokes and an Eminem performance, to take home this trophy.
I’ve said it before, and I’m going to say it again. Cynthia, Scarlett, Charlize, Saoirse, I have to say, boy, it is an honor to be considered in your company.
Congratulations to the other nominees! I wish you the best, but at another awards show, during another year, on another stage, ideally when I am not also competing.

It’s around this point in every Renée Zellweger speech where you raise your eyebrows and remember, Oh right, she really does just have that Southern accent.
I’ve gotta thank my stage moms, Matt and Jeff and Eric, Paul, Gary, Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, all the cast and the crew who worked so hard on this film to celebrate Judy Garland. My extended family at CAA, Peter, Brian, and Kevin. Imprint, Nicole and Dom.
A light Lou Bega riff for your Oscar night: A little bit of Matt in my life/ A little bit of Jeff by my side/ A little bit of Eric is all I need/ A little bit of Paul is what I see /A little bit of Gary in the sun /A little bit of Jessie all night long A little bit of Finn here I am / A little bit of you makes me your … Best Lead Actress winner!
Nanci Ryder, thank you for the 25 years. John Carrabino, my handsome date of 25 years. Thank you for always dreaming bigger than I would dare and for bringing it back to the work and joy and gratitude. My immigrant folks who came here with nothing but each other and a belief in the American dream. How about this?
Renée Zelleweger has had the same team — manager and publicist — for literally as long as Sir Shaw Ronan has been alive. That’s showbiz, kid!
Thank you to you big brother Drew, Brandy, Judy, Stone, and Eva for all the love, all the love and support possible that makes you believe anything is possible.
They’ll push your buttons!/They’ll make you wanna Hug ‘em/A family/A family/Proud, Proud family!
I have to say that this past year of conversations celebrating Judy Garland across genders and … I’m sorry, it’s across generations and across cultures has been a really cool reminder that our heroes unite us.
Conversations, importantly, without Liza Minelli.
No, the best among us who inspire us to find the best in ourselves. They unite us. When we look to our heroes, we agree, and that matters. Neil Armstrong, Sally Ride, Dolores Huerta, Venus and Serena and Selena, Bob Dylan, Scorsese, Fred Rogers, Harriet Tubman.
I know how you started out this night. You were desperate for someone to speak the names of Venus and Serena Williams, Sally Ride, and Martin Scorsese in the same sentence. You didn’t think it could happen. In fact, you were sure they couldn’t pull it off. You put money on this. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is 84 percent white, it’s 68 percent male. There’s no way I’m getting Venus and Serena and Selena in the same sentence. But look what Renée Zellweger did. That!
We agree on our teachers, and we agree on our courageous men and women in uniform who serve. We agree on our first responders and firefighters. When we celebrate our heroes, we’re reminded of who we are as one people united.
[Utterly random, sorry, I don’t know what in the name of a TEDx talk this means.]
No, Judy Garland did not receive this honor in her time. I am certain that this moment is an extension of the celebration of her legacy that began on our film set.
Basically: Y’all are giving this to me because you clowns never gave it to her. Don’t think I don’t know that!
It’s also representative of the fact that her legacy of unique exceptionalism and, uh, inclusivity and generosity of spirit, it transcends any one artistic achievement.
“Exceptionalism and, u … inclusivity!” are the buzzwords you reach for when you really want the SEO to pop off.
Miss Garland, you are certainly among the heroes who unite and define us, and this is certainly for you. I am so grateful. Thank you so much, everybody. Good night. Thank you.
 


Ah, alright. Stop.
A bold move to start a speech with a command! Joaquin Phoenix said, “Cut the cameras. Deadass.”
I’m full of so much gratitude right now. And I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees, or anyone in this room, because we share the same love, the love of film. This form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life.
Joaquin Phoenix might be standing on that stage, but he’s not bigger than Big Adam Driver. (I bet you’d forgotten that “Same Love,” was a popular Macklemore song in 2012. That song was most assuredly not about the love of film.)
I don’t know what I’d be without it. I think the greatest gift it’s given me, and many of us in this room, is the opportunity to use our voices for the voiceless. I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the distressing issues that we are facing collectively. I think at times we feel, or were made to feel, that we champion different causes, but for me, I see commonality. I think, whether we’re talking about gender inequality or racism or queer rights or indigenous rights or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice. We’re talking about the fight against the belief that one nation, one people, one race, one gender or one species has the right to dominate, control and use and exploit another with impunity.
Nooooo don’t equate veganism with anti-racism — these issues are fundamentally different! — your so sexy aha.
I think that we’ve become very disconnected from the natural world, and many of us, what we’re guilty of is an egocentric worldview — the belief that we’re the center of the universe. We go into the natural world, and we plunder it for its resources. We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow, and when she gives birth, we steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. Then, we take her milk, that’s intended for her calf, and we put it in our coffee and our cereal, and I think we fear the idea of personal change because we think that we have to sacrifice something to give something up.
Brad said stunts rights, Laura said parents-as-heros rights, Renée said Judy Garland rights, and Joaquin says … cow rights!
But human beings, at our best, are so inventive and creative and ingenious, and I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop and implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings and to the environment.
[screams randomly into the void]
Now, I have been a scoundrel in my life. I’ve been selfish. I’ve been cruel at times, hard to work with and ungrateful, but so many of you in this room have given me a second chance. And I think that’s when we’re at our best, when we support each other, not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption.
This was a deleted scene from Lady Bird, with Timothee Chalamet’s character, who wants to live by bartering and has only read Howard Zinn and J.D. Salinger.
That is the best of community. When he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric. It said, ‘Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow.’
