This year's Oscars ceremony was the most watched in the US for five years, early figures suggest.

初步统计数据显示，本届奥斯卡颁奖典礼在美国是近五年以来收视率最高的一次。

More then 41 million viewers tuned in to the ceremony

Analysts² Nielsen Company said 41.3 million viewers watched The Hurt Locker³ win six awards, including best film.

It is up 14% on the 36.3 million viewers who watched Slumdog Millionaire dominate last year's ceremony.

Nielsen used digital video recording⁴ data for the first time this year, meaning anyone who recorded the Oscars to watch later was counted.

Ratings boost

The ratio（比例，比率） of commercial hits to arthouse films in the Oscars race has long influenced the show's ratings success.

An increase in the number of nominations⁵ for best picture this year - which included more mainstream⁶（主流） films like Up and Avatar - is likely to have given the ceremony a boost.

The 80th Academy Awards in 2008, which was dominated by European stars and films that played poorly at box offices, entered record books as the least-watched Oscars show of all time.

Just 32 million US viewers watched the ceremony at which grim（冷酷的，残忍的） crime thriller⁷ No Country for Old Men was the big winner.

The most-watched ceremony broadcast was in 1998, when 55 million Americans saw Titanic⁸ win a record-tying 11 awards.

Last month, 106.5 million viewers tuned in to see the Superbowl, surpassing（胜过） the 1983 record set by the finale of the comedy M*A*S*H to rank as the most-watched US broadcast of all time.
