Steven Gaydos, executive vice-president of content for film industry magazine Variety, says “there is ample reason for concern … Before Covid hit the audience numbers were declining rapidly, year on year, for all awards shows. The Academy is essentially funded by the TV show, and they are about to open a big expensive museum. They have taken on a half-billion-dollar enterprise at a time when their primary source of income is declining. There could be an iceberg ahead for the Academy.”
The success of the TV show is vital to its organisers Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Ampas), which receives around $75m per year from TV network ABC, on a contract that will last until 2028. ABC itself makes large sums from advertising slots during the show – $129m on the 2020 edition – meaning that revenue generation remains strong. But last year’s audience figures were the lowest ever, at 23.9m in the US, imperilling ABC’s ability to make a profit on the show.

As we age, we occasionally find ourselves questioning the cognitive abilities of ourselves or our loved ones. Researchers have recently shown that we can implement simple, everyday practices to potentially forestall the onset of Alzheimer’s and other related forms of dementia.
“Everyone is afraid of the ‘A’ word: Alzheimer’s,” says
Dr. Gayatri Devi, Director of Park Avenue Neurology in New York City. “The story always is that there s nothing that can be done for Alzheimer’s, nothing that can be done for dementia.” Dr. Devi emphasizes that each of us can implement positive lifestyle changes in order to make a difference. “There are many things you can do about dementia and Alzheimer s that are effective and available now to help change your life story going forward.”
