It's Official:
Oscars Are a TV Ratings Dud

The Oscars are a ratings dud. Nielsen Media Research says preliminary ratings
for the 80th annual Academy Awards telecast are 14 percent lower than the
least-watched ceremony ever.
Nielsen said Monday that overnight ratings are also 21 percent lower than last
year, when "The Departed" was named best picture.
The least-watched Oscars ceremony ever was in 2003, when there were 33 million
viewers.
Nielsen has no estimate yet on how many people watched Sunday night, but based
on ratings from the nation's biggest markets, the Oscars will be hard-pressed
to avoid an ignominious record.
The show had a 21.9 rating and 33 share.
