Strke Aftermath-5

With the 80th Annual Academy Awards just a few days away...

Variety asks:

Will Oscar show grab great ratings?

Folks in Hollywood are rallying behind Sunday's Oscarcast with renewed passion after prolonged fears about its strike-stricken fate...



Prediction: I don't think the recent strike will impact the ratings of the show in a positive way....(I'm sure the ABC network hopes I'm wrong). The ratings will probably be flat over last year...Those that care about this kind of thing will watch. Those who usually stay away--will still do so and didn't care about the strike anyway.

It will be interesting to see if I'm proven correct...We'll find out Sunday night.
