The 93rd Academy Awards saw a 60% drop in viewership, falling under 10 million viewers for the first time. Critics described the telecast as "the worst Oscars ever," citing a lack of entertainment, no host, and a somber tone that lacked the traditional "mystique" of Hollywood. The production's use of 24 frames per second was noted for making the broadcast look like a movie rather than a live event.

### Oscar Awards, 2012 Presidential Race, Ron Paul Media Blackout

Billy Crystal hosted the Academy Awards where he joked about the Republican primary field, mentioning a "charismatic crack addict" in reference to the candidates. Media coverage by figures like Zbigniew Brzezinski and John King continues to exclude Ron Paul from serious discussion despite his delegate count. CNN's election maps and graphics consistently place Paul at the bottom of lists regardless of his actual performance in various states.
