Ratings will dropbecause that's been the trend for TV shows and special events like theOscars for the last two decades, not because of the individual moviesnominated this year. (Everyone always points to the year of Titanic, thebiggest hit of all time that came out at Christmas and peaked perfectly-- that's what is known as the exception to the rule.) No TV show todayis bigger in the ratings than a similar TV show 20 years ago. AmericanIdol isn't as big as The Cosby Show -- not even close. (And CSI isn't asbig as ER was.) So the ratings will be lower. They'll also be some of thebiggest ratings of any special this year, along with the Super Bowl. AndKing Kong instead of Munich wouldn't change that.POSTED BY MICHAEL IN NEW YORK AT
