Oscar ratings fall 16 percent compared to last year’s numbers.
So Neil Patrick Harris better hope that Oscar producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan really really like him.
The ceremony drew in the lowest audience in six years.
The telecast averaged 37.3 million viewers. A steep 15 percent decline from last year’s 43.7 million viewers the show pulled in last year when Ellen DeGeneres hosted.
However the blame can’t be placed on host Harris, who gave it is all and received mostly positive reviews from critics.
DeGeneres was fortunate enough to have a starry audience of A-listers nominated in top categories, including Leonardo Di Caprio, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock as well the starry presence of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Her famous selfie with the famous faces became one of the most retweeted items of all time.
Plus popular movies were up for big awards., including Gravity, American Hustle and The Wolf Of Wall Street.
This year’s only big nominee was American Sniper, which was mainly snubbed.
