 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
I think a lot of people turned it off after Heath won. I think it never helps that the show drags for so long. I think they should skip the red carpet crap and start the show at 8EST and try to get the thing over at 11EST that would help the ratings a lot.

They got my hopes up, too. To first report 36 million viewers and that the ratings improved as the show went on, and then change it to 33.6 million viewers and a diminishing audience as the show went on are quite the different results! I don't understand how they screwed that up. Peace,' Mike

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
^ Also slightly up on 18-49. ABC/Academy must be relieved.

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
Oh apparently the 33.6 million number does not include the 11PM hour.

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
That's not the primetime hour so it doesn't surprise me there are no numbers in fast nationals for that.

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
Also of note: These early numbers for live broadcasts are consistently underestimated by about 10%, so the final number should be closer to 37 million. Low by Oscar standards, but that beats pretty much every non-football telecast from this and last season, so, woot.

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
It's higher than 2002 and last year, so it wasn't a disaster.

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
Wouldn't it have been more appropriate (and a ratings stunt?) had Christian Bale presented Best Cinematography?

 Re: Oscar Ratings: Higher? Lower? About The Same?
Awards Daily is now reporting it as 36.3 million, 13% jump from last year.
I think that's more like it.

That's a healthy increase.
