Oscars TV ratings dropped to record low, according to Nielsen data
- The U.S. television audience for the 2020 Oscars fell to an all- time low for a ceremony that brought big wins for South Korean satire “Parasite” but was criticized by reviewers as long and haphazard.
“Parasite” made history by becoming the first non-English language film to win best picture, beating box office favorites like “Joker” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Joaquin Phoenix and Brad Pitt were among the acting winners. The New York Times’ James Poniewozik called it a “driverless” ceremony, while Variety’s Caroline Framke said it was “frantic” but ultimately saved by the genuine emotion and joy over the “Parasite” win.
