More than 1.34 million viewers tuned in to watch Anora clean up at the Oscars yesterday.
Seven’s coverage attracted an average audience of 474,000, which is remarkable for a three-and-a-half extravaganza of botox, bling and awkward speeches during the middle of a school day.
During the Oscars, Sean Baker’s Anora, a goofball Cinderella-esque comedy about a Brooklyn stripper getting hitched with a Russian oligarch, won five statues including best picture, director, actress (Mikey Madison). Adrien Brody won the best actor gong for his portrayal as a Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor in The Brutalist.
Perhaps the moment of the evening was Adam Sandler storming out of the shindig after host Conan O’Brien had a go at his attire (pictured above).
Elsewhere on TV, Nine’s Married at First Sight continued its prime time dominance, attracting nearly 3 million viewers, while Australian Idol (1.7 million) and Australian Survivor (910,000) also posted solid numbers.
