2008 Oscars (lowest rated) - No Country For Old Men was the winner, Jon Stewart hosted. 32 million viewers
1998 Oscars (highest rated) - Titanic was the winner, Billy Crystal hosted. 57 million viewers
2015 Oscars - Birdman was the winner, Neil Patrick Harris hosted. 37 million viewers

Where will 2016 land?

Screenplay is ultra early or am I crazy ?

I'm sensing this will be a pretty huge year, between The Revenant/Leo, Oscar Controversy, and Chris Rock hosting. Think it'll be the biggest since 1998.

But all the blacks will "boycott", so expect a record year of 60m viewers.

Yeah should get string ratings. I'll go with 47m.

Disney must now be extremely pissed Star Wars wasn't nominated for BP.

34 million viewers - that's close to the lowest ever. Not good.

Peace,
Mike

Weird, I thought the allure of Leo would bring in the viewings, but I think the Oscars So White campaign worked.

At least Leo's Oscar winning broke a twitter record :P

That's what you get Hollywood :P for NOT nominating Star Wars for best picture

2016 Grammy's got 25 m viewers while they were at 28.5 m two years ago.

The Golden Globes got 18.5 m this year.

At 34 m considering these Oscars got the most publicity of any potentially ever, there's the chance that the 34 m was inflated even more than what it could have done without the publicity.

The Oscars better re-tool because they very well could get below 30 m one of these years at this rate.

Weird considering there were 3 mega hits this year, and only one last year.

The Oscars used to be cool/must see tv. Now it's just another award show.

Kinda sad

Yes, it's not like there have been other awards shows in the past. :shades:

The only explanation is the #OscarsSoWhite boycott worked. This year's Best picture nominees sold over 12 million more tickets than last year's, no other reason for less interest.

I think this is attributable in large part to the lack of AA interest.

Viewership was much higher two years ago (when 12YAS won).

Finally people found more interesting things to do.

It isn't a big surprise that these were least viewed. Blacks are a HUGE part of the community. Next year we will see an uptick with some non-deserving high profile Black actor/actress wins.
