I'm sorry if I missed something, but, didn't the Oscars get good ratings last night?

Maybe I'm the one who missed something or misinterpreted something, but I thought Drudge and others said the ratings were low.

The promoton of the Oscars this year has just been non-stop. Even the day after, the promoters got out the early word that "the ratings were up".

But that was just the ratings from the large cities. The Blue States. Later this afternoon they got the results from the rest of the country and it turns out the Red states turned off in droves and the ratings were actually down.
