Both questions will be answered this Sunday, but viewers will have to make a choice about which answer they want in real time. The season finale of the HBO hit is up against the live telecast of the Oscars on ABC.
The debate essentially boils down to zeitgeist, says Robert Thompson, a professor at Syracuse University specializing in media and director for the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture. Thompson says the Oscars have “more to lose” in the match up against the apocalyptic, mushroom-infected zombie video game adaptation.
“The Oscars really is a live event, which you really need to watch live to register the ratings for the broadcast. That's the audience that they're counting,” Thompson said. “If people choose to watch `The Last of Us,' that's going to eat into the Oscars ratings. If people choose to watch the Oscars, they've got lots of other times to watch `The Last of Us.”'
Neither
The last of us. Is that even a question? Geeeeez
Duh
Lmao who still watches the Oscar’s
If Pedro Pascal was hosting it would be a draw…The Last of Us
Oscars is pure Hollywood trash we already give them too much attention
Go to church instead guys.
Whats an Oscar's?
Nothing.
Who's hosting? Haven't watched in years
The last of us for sure!
I hope The Last of Us gets better ratings to flex on the Oscars, which is a sham any way
Lol
Booooring.
Not this Virtue Signaling bullshit
milkievich u watchin the Oscar’s? 😭👋
Obviously the last of us :’)
Probably Oscars. The last of us is available anytime for me.
Last of Us
Definitely watching The Last of Us!!
Watching my birthday party go into high gear!! Looking forward to enjoying it!! I’ll be 74 March 12🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If Chris Rock is hosting, anything but.
With Kimmel hosting anything but the Oscars
Neither
If it was still about awarding people on talent and who did the best job, I’d watch.
Neither
Thankfully, there are many other options
Ocars
Not the oscars. This show has gone into a liberal hell hole.
Neither. Haven’t watched any awards show in years.
The last of us
Who watches the Oscars. Only old people and the rainbow people watch the Oscars.
won't be watching the fake as hell people patting themselves on the back
Definitely not the Oscar's. I'm sick of them using the stage for them to spew their political agenda.
Not even close…Last of Us. Don’t need to spend 4 hours watching celebs pat each other on the back.
Tar vs Everything Everywhere All At Once vs Banshees of Inisherine will be cool.
It'll be easier to avoid TLOU Spoilers as opposed to Oscar Spoilers on Monday.
Last of Us
There are not many good movies this year. Jimmy Kimmel is usually hood. May Clint Eastwood will hit Steve Spielberg
The Last of Us of course
TLOU of course. Are the academy awards even relevant anymore? Give the actor the award, but does it need to be more than a dinner? Why waste television slots?
Neither
Not the TheAcademy Oscars. It's been a joke over the last decade. All politics, rewarding junk movies
Neither. Both are garbage.
Neither
Neither especially nor the Oscar’s 💤💤💤
Definitely not the Oscars Last of Us 💯
The Oscar’s are dead. They paid Will Smith to make controversy last year to get people to watch this year. Also movies are dead. People want long form entertainment. Name a movie that’s over 3 hours long that wasn’t nominated for an Oscar.length makes for better development.
Let’s see the choice between a great show and an awards show TheAcademy that historically is full of elitist, privileged millionaires dictating their political views, uneducated climate, and aggression to the audience! So as you can tell, it’s an easy choice!!
Last of Us
Last of Us. Don't want to get spoiled!
Who cares about this woke crap
The Last of Us!! Not even close.
Without a doubt Oscars !
Neither, both are trash.
It’s all garbage, actors self congratulation is sickening
No brainer - ‘TLOU’. Nobody wants to see another slapping incident and especially if it’s done to Kimmel by Fallon 😝
'Last of us'. I don't want to get hit with spoilers via social media. Plus, the Oscar's really isn't that interesting to me anymore. Honestly, it is nice that talent gets rewarded, but I have more important shows to watch or risk spoilers not even an hour after air time.
Neither
The last of us
Hooray. I show where people play make-believe pat others who play make-believe, call each other genius and tell you how to live your life. I cannot wait
Last of us for sure
last of us obviously, how is that even a question
None tv is crap now
None ;)
The Last of Us…it’s not even an option
Netflix password sharing ends for me in a few days so I'll be watching something there before I switch to Amazon Prime full time.
Why would anyone watch the Oscars? Any award show really? Never understood that.
NASCAR...
The what? Nah, we'll be doing something better. Celebrities are 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 and parasites.
Neither, I have to binge a few things on netflix before my subscription ends.
Something else
People who still have cable baffle me.
i'll be reading a book, thanks
Oscars is liberal crap
I haven’t seen a movie made more recently than 2019 lol soooooooo The Last Of Us
😂Does anyone watch the awards. I can see the outfits the next day. They don't really do performances and I don't care a lick what they have to say generally. I'm actually astounded they still put this on... I wonder if they'll be honoring Harvey? Hollywood
During the Oscars I believe I will be watching one of my plants grow since Zelenskyy, the actor turned president was not invited to speak even though he asked. I also do not want to watch Epstein's client list be awarded for various things
Neither …..
I love how actors and entertainers give themselves a pat in the back with 7 or so award ceremonies a year. One is too much already.
last of us finale !!
Last of us, I don’t feel like listening to political soapbox speeches, from celebrities, whose opinions are no more important than my next-door neighbour
Big Brother…
Last of us.
