It was all about ABC, with the 83rd annual Academy Awards averaging approximately 33.29 million viewers and a 10.6 rating/26 share among adults 18-49 from 8:30-11 p.m., according to Nielsen Media Research data. Results in the 11 p.m. hour, which will likely bring the average down, were not available.

Combined with the Oscar Red Carpet Special from 7-8:30 p.m. (viewers: 24.52 million,  adults 18-49: 6.5/18—both estimated), ABC more than doubled the competing networks combined. But keep in mind that part of the earlier portion of the Red Carpet Special could include actual show coverage in the Central markets.
