U.S. television ratings for Sunday s reinvented Oscars ceremony plummeted to a new low, according to preliminary Nielsen data for a show that USA Today called a train wreck and the New York Times described as a dead room.
The audience on Walt Disney Co s (DIS.N) ABC broadcast network averaged 9.85 million, 58% below last year s final tally of 23.6 million viewers for the film industry s highest honors. Final numbers that include people who watched at bars and restaurants are expected to be released on Tuesday.
The Oscars telecast on Sunday, stripped to its bare essentials by constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, had a look and feel like no others - devoid of the usual comedy and musical performances but chock full of lengthy oratory from the winners.
A livestream of the Academy Awards in Shanghai hosted by the alma mater of Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao ran into China's Great Firewall, with the organiser's access to his virtual private network (VPN) service blocked for nearly two hours.
