Awards shows for the entertainment industry have taken it on the ratings chin over the past few years with declining viewers. The Golden Globes could be a bellwether of whether any of its new changes can turn things around and get viewers to tune back. To give you an idea, the audience for the 2023 Academy Awards were an improvement from the year before - to the third worst ever. And other awards show broadcasts have seen mixed results: the Grammys saw a 31% increase, while the Emmys dropped an all-time low. While some may make light of this, the changes go back to the most basic sales rule: It’s about what the prospect needs, not about what you need. For its part, this year's version of the Golden Globes will have new award categories as well as a new host, a new network, new owners, and a new voting body. The transformation comes in response to ongoing criticism over the lack of diversity within its voting body. Think about that. In a changing world, the awards have become, well, unrelatable for most. We may watch the shows and the movies, but at a time when many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, it may seem excessive to some to give away a gift bag that is worth more than double the salary of the average American. And people likely don't want to be reminded of that over and over again for the next three hours. Then there's the nominees themselves. One of the reasons why revamping the voting body had to be done was that people didn't recognize the films and shows being recognized, creating a disconnect between what people love and the content nominated for awards. If people don't recognize nor relate to them, they might be less likely to watch it. Historically, the Oscars have had this problem especially in the "Best Picture" category where there's a divide between prestige movies and mainstream tastes. Remember "Spotlight" and "The Artist", among others? They won, but few had actually seen them. When all is said and done, none of these changes may make a difference for the Golden Globes and these other awards shows for one simple reason: the way we watch television has changed significantly. The shift from network TV and cable to streaming services has been a major change, and our ever-changing interests no longer include awards shows. The Golden Globes are giving it the old college try and willing to change, and that by itself deserves its own award https://lnkd.in/gPq2encN #goldenglobes #entertainment #movies #film #television #streaming

People are impressed by awards. At the very least many believe someone must be good at something if they have won an award! However, many of the awards in the consumer and business worlds are not as they may first appear. Perhaps the most aggressive and well-known of the *Iffy* corporate awards schemes in the UK are The "Prestige Awards". They work hard to break away from this image and have plenty of keen buyers who are happy to take the wins and fight their side, but a "vanity scam" of "pay to win" awards is still what it is. That said, I think the word "scam" is a bit of a misnomer. These "pay to win" awards are clearly now part of today's (almost) accepted fake-it-till-you-make-it world. If there's a scam being run there, it's not by those who sell the awards, so much as by those who pay for the award package and pretend that it means something. Having just been through the film festival application process and circuit I am more than aware that there is a whole series of fake or dodgy festivals out there. I reckon 50% of the festivals on there are simply running to raise money for their organizers and don't give a toss for the #filmmakers. Some don't run at all, but just pretend to. A good chunk of them are clearly "pay to win" with individual categories in such a multitude that you can more or less buy your way into extremely high odds of winning - some of these festivals run as often as once a week! I shit you not... I'll do a show on dodgy film festivals as part of my Film Pro Productivity & Success podcast. I think I managed to avoid them with The Traveller, but the experience of applying for and communicating with festivals was a particularly "scammy" one. With all THAT said, what ESPN has been up to since 1997 is a whole new level of #Crazy! Check this out from #NateTheLawyer on YouTube to hear the whole story. https://lnkd.in/eskkCUdi

The luminous allure of Hollywood, with its red carpets, camera flashes, and cinematic magic, might seem worlds apart from the sandy stretches of Coney Island. However, on October 2nd, from 12:00 pm to 12:30 pm US ET, as part of the Leading Entrepreneurs of the World (LEW) Conference 2023, a narrative will be woven that intricately links the two locales in an unprecedented tale of ambition, innovation, and unyielding passion. larry namer, with an illustrious career spanning four decades in entertainment, takes us on a riveting odyssey from Coney Island's shores to Hollywood's glittering boulevards. As the founder of E! Entertainment Network, Larry's trajectory is a testament to not just spotting potential but nurturing it against all odds. Beginning as an underground splicer with Manhattan Cable, he rapidly ascended the ranks, laying the groundwork for the first 61-channel two-way interactive cable system in the U.S. A feat that soon caught Forbes' attention, branding it as the national blueprint for cable programming. Yet, Larry's vision extended beyond the established. Teaming up with Alan Mruvka, they envisioned a 24-hour entertainment behemoth. While many were skeptical, a serendipitous encounter provided Larry with the seed funding for E! Entertainment. This brainchild soon burgeoned into a global entity, broadcasting in over 140 nations and amassing a valuation nearing 4 billion. But Larry's entrepreneurial drive knew no bounds. From revolutionizing post-Soviet Russian television with Western entertainment to advising Microsoft's Interactive TV and pioneering the first US/China production enterprise, Larry’s endeavors have been ceaselessly innovative. Today, as he oscillates between the U.S. and China, he continues to mold the entertainment landscape, with projects like the highly-anticipated feature film 'Empress', slated for 2020. Join us to traverse Larry Namer's extraordinary journey, one that encapsulates the essence of innovation and tenacity, echoing the spirit of both Coney Island's grit and Hollywood's glamor. This is more than a story—it's a masterclass in perseverance, vision, and seizing every opportunity.

Very good insight! I agree, the landscape is shifting. Adapt or die. As a TV and movie production company we can align with the streaming platforms, and with half a dozen companies reach HALF of the entire world's population. By doing so we can also control our own destiny and costs. That is alluring. The media distribution marketplace will dramatically change in the next 36 months. Is there a place for cinema, theatres, streaming, and other alternative delivery methods to co-exist? Time will tell, we all adapt, we all evolve, that is the nature of business. Here is a prelude of things to come...
