The Oscars broadcast attracted 19.5 million viewers, the largest TV audience since 2020. Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer won 7 awards, including Best Picture, and the Ukrainian documentary 20 Days in Mariupol won Best Documentary.

The Oscar ceremony broadcast on Sunday night attracted the largest TV audience since 2020. UNN writes about this with reference to Bloomberg.

Details

The show, which was broadcast on the Walt Disney Co.'s ABC channel, attracted 19.5 million viewers. This is 4.3% more than last year.

The Oscar audience has declined in recent years, the publication notes. Last year's ceremony, at which the movie "Everywhere at Once" won the award for Best Picture and six other trophies, attracted 18.7 million viewers.

This year's show broke that pattern. Together, Universal Pictures' Oppenheimer and Warner Bros.' Barbie, another Best Picture nominee, grossed nearly $1 billion in domestic ticket sales, helping to ensure a larger audience at the ceremony.

The Oscars peaked in 1998, when 55.2 million viewers watched Titanic become the main winner.

Recall

The award ceremony was the coronation of director Christopher Nolan, who had been working on this for two decades. His films Memento and Dunkirk were nominated for Oscars, but never won any major awards. Nolan's film Oppenheimer, about the father of the atomic bomb, received seven awards, including the main nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

The Ukrainian film 20 Days in Mariupol by Mstislav Chernov, filmed during the siege of Mariupol in March 2022, won in the Best Documentary category. "The world has seen the truth about Russia's crimes. Our film has smashed the enemy's propaganda," responded Andriy Yermak, head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine.
