Early ratings of the 90th annual Academy Awards telecast is again showing declining viewership. The “Los Angeles Times” reports that the number is down 16-percent from last year, and this year could be an all-time low. “The Times” cites overwhelming programming options and the prevalence of online streaming as possible reasons for the low ratings. Viewers may have also shied away from this year’s broadcast due to the rising conversations of sexual harassment, thanks to the “MeToo” and “Times Up” movements.
