Oscars No Prize Winner for ABC

0

The ratings are trickling in for the Sunday’s Oscar show, and the initial stats have the ABC telecast down even more from last year’s low viewer numbers.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Chris Rock-hosted ceremony ranks as the second-lowest on record with 34.3 million viewers.

Nielsen’s overnight estimates had the 3 ½ hour event on track for a 6 percent decrease from 2015, making for a seven-year low in overnights.

Rock and ABC may take heart in the fact that the least-watched Oscars on record is still the 2008 show. That telecast, anchored by Jon Stewart, came in just shy of 32 million viewers.
