2024 Oscar Ratings: Academy Awards Audience Rises Slightly to 19.5 Million Viewers
The 96th annual Academy Awards ceremony drew 19.5 million viewers on ABC Sunday night with a 3.8 rating in adults 18-49
The Oscars ceremony saw “Oppenheimer” reign supreme, with the hit biopic taking home seven awards, including best picture, best director for Christopher Nolan, and best actor for Cillian Murphy. Both Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” failed to pick up any wins, and “Barbie” was shut out of most categories in which it was nominated except for best original song (“What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell). Immediately following the Oscars, a special episode of “Abbott Elementary” scored new series highs in both the Live+Same Day total viewers and in the demo, with 6.9 million a 1.42 rating respectively.
