Some 34.3 million Americans watched the 2016 Oscars ceremony on Sunday, (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/oscar-winners-list-2016_us_56ce963de4b0871f60ea244e) the smallest TV audience in eight years, according to national ratings data.
Broadcaster ABC Television said the telecast was, however, the most-watched TV awards show of the year.
The 2016 audience was the second-lowest on record for an Oscars ceremony. The least-watched Oscars on record was in 2008 when about 32 million Americans tuned in.
The low numbers came despite the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/leonardo-dicaprio-best-actor-the-revenant_us_56d0d80de4b0871f60eb85e0?ir=Entertainm ent§ion=us_entertainment&utm_hp_ref=entertainm ent), who won his first Oscar, and anticipation about how host Chris Rock (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/chris-rock-oscars-monologue_us_56d08212e4b0bf0dab31dd5f?ir=Entertain ment§ion=us_entertainment&utm_hp_ref=entertain ment), who is black, would address the furor over an all-white line-up of acting nominees.
Last year's Oscars telecast, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, was seen by 36.6 million Americans, the smallest audience in six years.
