Do the Oscars attract more people to the cinemas, or is it just a TV event?

Every year in March, it is all excitement in the movie industry as it gears up for the annual Academy Awards – the Oscars. There is a lot of hype about the Oscars and the press coverage is rather extensive from the arrival of the big stars, microphones, flash bulbs as well as the nominees and other well-dressed and famous movie stars. It is worth noting that the Oscars are not only for the glamorous and powerful. Millions of people tune in on TV with some preferring to watch the Oscars at their nearest cinema.

There is plenty of history surrounding the Oscar Awards ceremony. As much as the event is aired live on TV, many viewers take time to watch the event surrounded by other like-minded people at the cinemas. Interestingly, there are certain factors that affect the viewership of the Oscars. The viewership of the Oscar Awards ceremony often peaks during the years when the box office favorites are given Best Picture nomination like when the Titanic was nominated back in 1998. The broadcast with the highest number of viewers in the history of the Oscar Academy Awards is the 42nd event that was held in 1970. During that specific event, Midnight Cowboy was awarded the Best Picture. On the contrary, when the films that have less box office are most likely to win, then the show ratings have much lower viewership such as when Crash won in 2005.

The History of the Oscars

1930 was the year that witnessed the second Oscar Academy award ceremony. Notably, these awards had already been established with an LA radio station dedicating an entire hour to broadcast the event. During the first Oscar awards, the winners had been announced way in advance. However, this was not the case during the second Oscar awards where the winner's names were released at 11 P.M at the night of the event. In 1940, the LA Times released the winners names before the event began and the guest were able to get this information before arriving at the ceremony, which put a stop to this practice. In 1941, the names of the winners were sealed in an envelope only to be revealed during the Oscar Awards event, which was televised with the broadcast showing all through Canada and the U.S.

By 1966, the Oscar awards ceremony was televised for the first time in color and in 1969 the ceremony was broadcasted internationally. Today, the show can be viewed in over 200 countries. Take note that the initial Academy Awards broadcast was available in 1953 on NBC and it was aired until 1960 after which it moved to ABC. It remained at ABC until 1970 when it moved to NBC again. However, in 1976, the Oscar Awards Ceremony moved to ABC where it has remained until 2014.

From the start of 2004, the Oscar Awards ceremony was broadcasted live approximately 6 weeks after the announcement of the nominees - in the later days of February or Early March. Before that, this ceremony usually took place on Early April or Late March. Switching to the earlier dates was mainly intended to avoid competing for ratings with the NCAA's men's basketball as well as to stifle the period of ad campaigns and lobbying that are common with the season of Academy Awards. During this season, millions of dollars are especially dedicated to publicists and promotions in a bid to enhance the visibility as well as competitiveness of their films. Keep in mind that every four years because of the Winter Olympics, these awards ceremony will take place in the early part of March.

It took a good number of decades to decide the best night in which the Oscar ceremony should be held. Before 1954, the ceremony used to be aired live on Thursday evenings. However, between 1955 and 1958 this event was held on Wednesdays and between the years 1959 and 1998 the event was held on Mondays. Notably, since 1999, the broadcast was moved to Sunday, 8.30 P.M EST/ 5.30 P.M Pacific Time in order to end the ceremony at a reasonable hour for the viewers. These timings have enabled more viewers to tune in considering the absence of the traffic jams during that time. From 2010, the ceremony Academy awards started limiting the winner's speeches to 45 seconds maximum with the hope of getting rid of the long dreaded and embarrassing emotional displays that usually accompany the acceptance speeches.

So, do the Oscars attract more people to the cinemas, or is it just a TV event? Yes, statistics have indicated that the Oscars attract more people to the cinemas. This is a glamorous event and it should not only be classified as any other TV event.

Jordan Belfort Quotes from The Wolf of Wall Street

So you think The Wolf of Wall Street is just another fun entertainment; a roller coaster of win-win set of catch phrase? I urge you to re-read with me.

Here are hand-picked quotable quotes from Jordan Belfort:

When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love.

Let me tell you something. There's no nobility in poverty. I've been a poor man, and I've been a rich man. And I choose rich every fucking time.

The easiest way to make money is -create something of such value that everybody wants and go out and give and create value, the money comes automatically.

Act as if! Act as if you're a wealthy man, rich already, and then you'll surely become rich. Act as if you have unmatched confidence and then people will surely have confidence in you. Act as if you have unmatched experience and then people will follow your advice. And act as if you are already a tremendous success, and as sure as I stand here today - you will become successful.

Successful people are 100% convinced that they are masters of their own destiny , they’re not creatures of circumstance, they create circumstance, if the circumstances around them suck they change them.

They were drunk on youth, fueled by greed, and higher than kites.

No matter what happened to you in your past, you are not your past, you are the resources and the capabilities you glean from it. And that is the basis for all change.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it. 

If you want to be rich, never give up. People tend to give up. If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people. More importantly, you will learn. "When you do something, you might fail. But that’s not because you’re a failure. It’s because you have not learnt enough. Do it differently each time. One day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend.

If you give people a good enough ‘why’, they will always figure out the ‘how’.

Whether you say, 'I can' or 'I can't,' you're right either way. 

Winners use words that say ‘must’ and ‘will’.

The Browsing Attitude of Australian Market

Given today’s trend towards the internet and home-based business and professions, it is without a doubt equally important to focus marketing and brand-building not just on the conventional macro-sphere (billboards, television, product placement, and newspapers), but also on more personalized spaces, most notably on the Internet.

This kind of new focusing is important to all business, and not just the big multi-national corporations. Small businesses, including start-up and family businesses, should shift their focus to include online marketing. With practically everyone in the world connected to the Internet, crisscrossing geographic borders, gender, politics, and race, this is literally the biggest market to tap in in terms of marketing and advertising.

In Sidney, Australia, for instance, it is reported that approximately 75 – 80% of the population are actually online, mostly using social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter. With a relatively balanced population in terms of gender and age, making sure your company has the ability to reach this demographic is of vital importance.

Internet marketing in Sidney is also easier compared to other countries in their world. Australian residents actually benefit from having one of the fastest Internet connections in the world, a survey even ranks their speed second only to South America. The implications of speed are enormous as these can lead to higher quality images and even stunning videos, all easy-to-use tools in online branding.

Research has shown that a lot of small businesses prefer not to use online marketing. This is detrimental, not only for them, but also for several potential lost clients. Most people, when in need of particular products or services, would go by either (a) brand recall, (b) recommendations, or (c) trusted product.

While producing products or services that are tried and tested are helpful for retaining current clients, making sure that their name forces people to remember them is where online marketing comes in. For people who can spend 3 – 10 hours a day online, seeing an advertisement, or reading up on a company’s profile is a definite guarantee to boost up not only viewership but also potential sales.

This kind of branding leads to a stronger sales base, and thereby, more and more people can only come in. Due to the recommendations factor, once you bring in more people through online marketing, they would start telling their friends and associates about your product, leading to more and more sales.

Indeed, Internet marketing in Sidney is of vital importance. Arguably, a lot of small businesses may not have either knowledge or trust in online marketing, especially older family businesses. However while there are a few fraudulent marketing companies, most of them are reliable ones whose only goal is to make sure your company is front and center for online users.

This is especially true in a market as competitive as Australia’s. With a higher than average GDP (Gross Domestic Product), people are living in relative bliss. As such, competition tends to be tighter as people have the luxury of picking and choosing. Making sure your product is optimized to suit their needs should be their number one concern.
