FWIW: Oscars US ratings down 7% for 2025
The article, of course, tries to clean up the slop by making excuses and making up “oh, but” superlatives...(not worth clicking).
US ratings for the 97th Academy Awards averaged 18.1 million people on Sunday (March 2), a drop of 7% from the 2024 ceremony, according to Nielsen data.
The figures combine both the live broadcast on ABC as well as live streams on Hulu. The latter hosted the show on its platform for the first time this year but reportedly experienced several technical difficulties, leading to disruptions in the live stream.
This year, viewership dropped for the first time after a steady increase following the 2021 Covid-era ceremony, which was watched by an all-time low of 10.4 million people.
Not watching an award show where actors are awarded for performances by another industry actors.
