The ratings for Sunday nights telecast of the 90th annual Academy Awards collapsed by a whopping 16 percent, which would mean an all-time low, according to early estimates.
Variety reports that the 8 p.m.-11 p.m. portion of ABCs telecast averaged an 18.9 household rating and 32 share in Nielsens metered market overnight ratings Thats down about 16% from the 22.5/37 rating generated by the 2017 Oscars.
According to Deadline, the 18.9 appears to be an all-time low for the Oscars, below the previous low ratings point for the Oscars, logged with the 2008 telecast (21.9).
The ratings will be updated once all the numbers are in,But if past is prologue, those numbers will not change much either way.

I agree. Lately I have been watching old westerns on the GRIT channel. I love “Laramie”, and “Wagon Train”. great acting and story lines, all with a moral to them.
A bunch of movies no one watched (Except Dunkirk which was so so) in a year when Hollywood is telling America to F off (more than usual cluelessness) an they are surprised?
This is it for all those self-congratulatory award shows. They are all tanking and nothing is going to turn that around.
I watch the old movies on the tube; John, Clint, Rambo, Roy Rogers. etc etc... where the bad guys always don’t win and the good straight guys always win.
Good stuff on the Hallmark Channel last night. Hope Valley might go under!
Here are your choices:
* reboots/remakes
* sequels/prequels
* comic book characters
* PC art-house movies(almost ALL the films this year)
* war movies (slightly bigger than History channel features)
Other than the PC artsy/fartsy films that no one watches Hollywood has run out of ideas.
Want a good movie? Rent “Metropolis.”
I figured out, a couple of decades ago, that all the awards shows are just narcissists giving awards to other narcissists. Boring. That 3 Billboards had its funny moments, but it was not a riveting movie. I recently saw where Joaqiun Phoenix said he didnt care if people went to his movies. These people are imbeciles.....does he think he will star in any more movies if nobody is coming to see him????
Felix’s roomate Oscar Madison, sports writer.
Tragic.
Lotta huffin’ and puffin’ outta marky mark there. Sounds like he needs to do some cardio. lol
Oh, that guy, he's great, it's good he's back on, he'll destroy the NFL Kneelers.
The whole stupid thing isn’t for us regular delporables. It’s for crazed, pussy hat wearing liberals.
Oscars at all time low tv ratings Maybe thats because as Kimmel said, ‘We Make Films to Upset Mike Pence and us too.
He’d be a much better host than Kimmel.
The 2008 Awards were hosted by Jon Stewart. I am not surprised that show had very low ratings.
To show how broad Hollywood’s reach was for audiences, they were upset that Chaplin’s The Great Dictator might cost Hollywood the lucrative Getman market. This was before we entered the war.
Exactly, Hollywood has never been loyal to the US, they only care about global profits.
My wife, who can tell you who is married to who (this week) in Hollywood, how many children they have, where they grew up, etc ... spent the evening watching “The Crown.” I said, you’re missing the Oscars I think. She just said “shhhh” and enjoyed the episode.
The 0scars are for people who think they will live forever and that the remedy for their ills is 24 hour sex. That is the mentality or lack of it. They act anyway they want because everyone is an actor, and when you are an actor you will never die because it’s acting. So in between acting is the 24 hour sex thing and maybe with some hard talk about contracts and ruling the world and then the oblivion thing again with 24 hour sex. Even managers and agents are this way because they are actors too, failed actors but actors. If there is not always room for sex, there are drugs which is like sex in a compartmentalized way, sex for the brain. So life rotates around the penis and pussy hats are great indicators that is what you are into.... morality is pretense for acting and the whole talk is about how real it was... These people don’t know reality from a hole in the ground. How did they become this way is another story and they hate Trump because they think he gets more sex than they do. It’s a dismal story really... but they are out there.
Maybe we should have a “gun” rating. (G is taken) ... and raise the minimum age for watching a gun included movie to 21. Falls right in line with what the liberals are asking. Everybody would be happy ... except the millenials that consider these “training films.”
