TV Ratings: Oscar's Final Figures Increase Slightly


It may be little consolation for the movie academy, but a more complete count by the Nielsen company pushed the Academy Awards audience to 10.4 million viewers on Tuesday, The Associated Press reports.

A day earlier, Nielsen’s preliminary estimate had Sunday’s show at 9.85 million viewers. Either way, it’s a record low for an event that not too long ago routinely reached more than 30 million people.
