Will Joel and Ellie finally reach the doctors in “The Last of Us”? Will Michelle Yeoh take home the Oscar for best actress?
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.”'
