Competition
Due to the nature of live programming, Fast Nationals for ABC are approximate.
Barbara Walters’ 2010 Academy Awards special at 7p (5.4/16) and The Oscar’s Red Carpet at 8p (8.9/23) were both similar to their Fast National performances last year and are both set to see significantly lower ratings in the finals (last year’s Barbara Walters’ special delivered a 5.3/14 in the Fast before dropping to a 3.1/9 in the Finals while the Red Carpet show posted a 9.3/22 and fell to a 7.2/19). From 830-11p, the 82nd Annual Academy Awards delivered a 12.5/30, showing improvements over last year’s ceremony which posted an 11.2/26 in the Fast Nationals before rising to a 12.1/29 from 8:30-11:25p in the Finals.
CBS delivered season lows for 60 Minutes (1.0/3) and Amazing Race 16 (2.6/6) while episodes of Undercover Boss (2.0/5) and Cold Case (1.3/3) were repeats.
