Joe Otterson TV Reporter The 96th annual Academy Awards ceremony drew 19.5 million viewers on ABC Sunday night. Per the time zone adjusted fast national ratings, Sunday’s telecast drew 19.5 million viewers and a 3.8 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic airing from 7:00-10:29 p.m ET.
By comparison, the 2023 telecast drew 18.8 million viewers and a 4.0 rating in the final tallies. That means this year’s show was up just shy of 4% in total viewers but down 5% in the key demo.
It should also be noted this year’s show started an hour earlier than it has in years past. Still, the 2024 telecast was the most-watched Oscars since 2020 and marked the third consecutive year of viewership growth.
The 2021 telecast, which was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, drew an all-time low 10.4 million viewers. It rebounded in 2022 with 16.6 million, followed by last year’s 18.8 million.
