Oscars Audience Tally Up To 21M In Delayed Multi-Platform Viewing

The Oscars were up 5% after seven days of viewing

Previously, Nielsen reported that about 19.5M live+same-day viewers tuned in to watch the Oscars, which was already a four-year high for the show with an increase of 4% over last year’s same-day audience. This year’s ceremony also started an hour earlier, which helped keep the show in primetime and likely drew more people from the east coast who didn’t have to stay up until near midnight to catch Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel was back for the fourth time as ABC’s tried-and-true host for the evening, where Oppenheimer and Poor Things were the night’s most decorated films.
