The “Pam & Tommy” star recently sat down with “Knocked Up” co-star, Paul Rudd, for Insider.

For Rogen, the hype surrounding the Academy Awards is baffling.

"I don't get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves," he told Rudd.

"To me, maybe people just don't care,” he explained.

Rogen went on to ask why should people in other industries care about awards given out in the film industry?

In recent years, ratings for the Academy Awards have slipped drastically.

The Academy has made major changes in an attempt to try and increase viewership.

Per Insider, last year's Oscars drew the lowest ratings in the show's history.
