Spotted Ratings, Sunday 2/26/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • The Academy Awards exceeded many expectations considering the relatively low profile of the nominated films. The show was down just a tick from last year's finals and up by 4% in total viewers. As many expected, the show finished behind the Grammys (39.9m) in total viewers for the first time since 1984, but that ended up being much more about the circumstances surrounding Grammy than it was about Oscar.
  • Usually NBC waits to premiere Celebrity Apprentice until after all the huge winter Sunday events clear out, and I guess we found out why on this day; it dropped by 31% from last week's premiere. The other original was The Amazing Race, also down huge (21%) from last week but even with the year-ago against-Oscar telecast.
