8% say they are very interested, and 18% are somewhat interested.
A whopping 49% of Americans are not interested in the Oscars at all.
54% of all U.S. adults think it’s inappropriate for Oscar winners to talk politics in their speeches.
As for which film folks think should win Best Picture, 8% of all Americans say “West Side Story,” with 17% of those interested in the Oscars saying the same.
