Los Angeles – Small films did not mean the smallest numbers of viewers for the Oscars.
It is estimated that 19.7 million viewers watched the 97th Academy award ceremony on Sunday evening, the most public in five years, according to figures published Tuesday by ABC.
The triumph of “Anora”, which won five Oscars, whose best film, and other relatively little -seen favorites and winners have always brought an elevator on the 19.5 million viewers of last year, when the major hit “Oppenheimer” won the best categories and the Hit even bigger “Barbie” was a major presence.
Conan O’Brien’s housed television has had the benefit of 10 nominations for the great success “Wicked” and an opening performance of its stars, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The film won for its production design and costumes.
The show had a particularly important elevator among people aged 18 to 49, led by mobile watches and laptops of young viewers. And the network said it was entertainment spectacle during prime time of 2025.
However, the upward trend comes from a hollow of all time during the pandemic, and the changes in vision habits for almost all live events other than the Super Bowl mean that the figures that the show had once are very unlikely to be reached,
A high brand of 55 million people watched “Titanic” cleaned in 1998, and the show had no less than 30 million viewers before 2018, when it dropped to 26.5 million. The background took place with the show cut in pandemic in 2021, given by 9.85 million. He began to bounce back in 2022 – The year of the notorious slap of Will Smith from Chris Rock – with 16.6 million.
And the first live delivery of Hulu of the Oscars of this year cut the last moments of the series, making the victory the best actress of Miss Mikey Madison and the best victory of “Anora” in real time.
The Oscars still considerably surpass the other reward shows. Its nearly 20 million viewers were much more than the 15.4 million grammys.
