The DES.N network, owned by Walt Disney, reported the day before yesterday that the Oscars ceremony last Sunday attracted about 19.5 million viewers on ABC, the highest level. In four years.
The number of viewers was slightly higher than last year, when 18.8 million people watched the film industry’s top awards.
This rate represents almost double the number of followers of the Oscars during the “Covid-19” period, when 10.4 million people watched the celebration, but much less than the 40 million viewers that the event achieved 10 years ago.
In recent years, the Oscars’ viewership has declined, in light of new competition from streaming platforms and social media networks.
“Oppenheimer,” a film by director Christopher Nolan about the race to build the first atomic bomb, won seven awards, including best picture and actor.
The movie “Poor Things” won four awards, including Best Actress for Emma Stone.
