Apparently this year's new revamp of the Oscars ceremony (sorta) helped halt the telecast's steep ratings decline in recent years...
The viewership for the 81st Annual Academy Awards rose slightly over last year in the overnight metered-market ratings according to The Live Feed.
With a 23.3 HH rating/35 share, the ceremony was up 6% from last year's performance which was ranked as the lowest ever.
An ABC analyst adds that they expect the total viewership to be about 6-10% higher than last year in the nationals.
OK The ratings were up--but not by all that much considering they hit a record low only a year ago...I will bet the prospect of Bradgelina and Jennifer Aniston fireworks brought a few folks in to have a look as well as those rooting for Heath Ledger to win...
Ratings were up but the show was STILL a snozer overall!
