Frances McDormand: a household name at the Academy Awards
The Academy Awards ceremony is arguably the most prestigious awards show in the entertainment industry. But even though millions of viewers from across the globe tune in to watch the telecast each year, audience figures have been plummeting for the better part of a decade. In 2022, Oscars viewership stood at around 15.36 million, marking the second-lowest figure in the history of the show. Despite all that, media outlets continue to provide extensive coverage of the event, while advertising revenue from the Academy Awards has also not dipped below 100 million U.S. dollars since 2015.
