Matt Belloni: 我是一位好莱坞记者,长期关注奥斯卡颁奖典礼和电影行业。今年奥斯卡颁奖典礼的收视率虽然有所下降,但也在预期之内。我认为收视率下降的主要原因是今年提名的电影缺乏大众吸引力,没有像《芭比》和《奥本海默》那样引发广泛关注的热门影片。此外,奥斯卡颁奖典礼本身也存在一些问题,例如奖项数量过多,许多奖项观众并不关心,这导致节目冗长乏味。虽然奥斯卡颁奖典礼尝试了一些改革,例如首次在Hulu上进行直播,但这些改革收效甚微。关于奥斯卡颁奖典礼的未来,我认为电影学院不太可能将转播权卖给Netflix,因为这会引发公众强烈反弹。至于奥斯卡奖项对电影的经济效益,我认为其主要体现在付费点播(PVOD)市场,而非票房。对于小型电影发行公司来说,奥斯卡奖项的意义重大,可以为他们带来可观的收入。但对于大型电影公司来说,奥斯卡奖项的影响力相对较小。好莱坞电影行业正面临着诸多挑战,例如观众数量下降,电影院观影人数减少等。好莱坞公司正在努力寻找新的发展模式,例如更加注重IP和续集电影的制作。在好莱坞高管方面,我认为鲍勃·伊格尔之后,环球影业的负责人唐娜·兰利是目前最受尊敬的电影公司高管之一。她成功地将环球影业打造成了一个成功的电影公司,这主要归功于她对电影制作的独到眼光和对电影市场的精准把握。最后,特朗普政府对好莱坞的影响力日益增强,好莱坞人士对此感到担忧,并采取措施避免成为目标。 Peter Kafka: 作为一名记者,我对Matt Belloni的观点表示认同。奥斯卡颁奖典礼的收视率下降是一个长期趋势,这与电影行业整体的衰退趋势有关。好莱坞需要找到新的发展模式,才能应对这一挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

We had to stop recording this one for a minute, because Matt Belloni got a text. More on that below.

Big picture: Matt is a longtime Hollywood reporter - and lawyer before that - who now has the industry's ear via his writing at Puck and his The Town podcast. I asked him to talk about what lies ahead for the Oscars, the out-of-step TV production that still has big audiences and prestige; and the current state of Hollywood, the business. Also discussed here: Awards party catering, and the most popular movie executive who isn't Bob Iger.

For the record: When we started recording this podcast, the audience for Sunday's Oscar awards had declined yet again. By the end of it, new numbers meant it was the most popular show in the last five years. Obviously we would have preferred to know that in advance.
