The Daily PollAWARDS SHOWS. AT their best they can be spontaneous, talent-packed and dramatic events. At their worst they can be long, boring, and filled with awkward pre-scripted jokes that stars struggle to read off a monitor.
Viewing figures for the big ones have been up and down in recent years. Last year the Oscars pulled in the second-smallest audience it has ever received. The Grammys defied the recent downward trend in viewership last week however, when it attracted 12.4 million viewers – a 30% increase on the previous year.
