As featured on
The Oscars draw fewer TV viewers this year, even as the show stays a major live event. On Tuesday, Disney says 17.9 million people watched Sunday's ceremony which was broadcast live on ABC and streamed on Hulu. That is a 9% drop from last year’s 19.7 million. The show featured a faceoff between two Warner Bros. films, “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners.” “One Battle After Another” won best picture and director. Disney says the Oscars still rank as the top primetime entertainment telecast this season. Social impressions rise over 42%, with 129 million video views.
