The Academy Awards broadcast drew in more viewers Sunday than in any of the past three shows, nabbing its biggest post-pandemic audience.
The Oscars show attracted 18.7 million viewers, a 12% increase over last year. While that number is still very low historically, the gains show that interest in the Academy Awards isn’t entirely gone.
The dip coincides with historic-low ratings for not only televised awards shows but live television overall. The shuttering of movie theaters during the pandemic meant few viewers had seen many of the nominated films and thus were not interested.
