Nielsen said Monday that overnight ratings are also 21 percent lower than last year, when "The Departed" was named best picture.
The least-watched Oscars ceremony ever was in 2003, when there were 33 million viewers.
Nielsen has no estimate yet on how many people watched Sunday night, but based on ratings from the nation's biggest markets, the Oscars will be hard-pressed to avoid an ignominious record.

Haha. I hate awards shows anyway!
I think I will watch it next time around. I watched a little of it & when I saw Diablo Cody won I felt like I had a chance in life. She was just an average american & it gives hope that it is possible for dreams to come true.
I watched, on 4 different televisions during the time it was on.
America is pre-occupied with a time shortage now that our Gov't has us in a time of international crisis. It's not a lack of interest, but rather, appropriate time management.
