The 2024 Academy Awards have shattered records, garnering a total of 21.01 million viewers in delayed multi-platform viewing. This marks a significant increase of 5% over the previous year, making it the largest audience for the Oscars since 2020. The show also saw a boost in the 18-49 demographic, scoring a 4.35 rating in MP+7 thanks to streaming viewership. Blockbusters like Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ and Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ were major contenders this year, adding to the excitement and drawing in more viewers. The earlier start time of the ceremony likely contributed to the rise in viewership, making it more accessible to audiences on the East Coast. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the evening celebrated films like ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Poor Things’, with ‘Oppenheimer’ claiming the top honors for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Emma Stone also took home the Best Actress award for her role in ‘Poor Things’. The 2024 Oscars proved to be a night of triumph for both filmmakers and audiences alike, setting a new standard for excellence in the film industry.
