Sunday night was Oscar night and while it may have generated the most news in years thanks to the Best Picture flub, it was the lowest rated Oscars in quite awhile, down 1.5 million viewers and 1.4 demo points from last year. The viewer total was the lowest since 2008 and the demo the lowest on record. The moment that had everyone talking didn't even figure in the ratings since it was so late in the night. It could help next year's ratings, however.
