How charming is Yuh-Jung Youn?! After winning the Oscar for best supporting actress for her work in "Minari," she began a humorous and endearing speech with what seemed like some fangirling - and, perhaps, some gentle scolding - after a ponytailed Brad Pitt (who, coincidentally, was an executive producer on her film through his Plan B production company) presented her with the award.

As reported by CNN and Variety, that's a 58% drop from the 2020 Oscar show's rating when 23.6 million viewers watched - and that was the previous lowest rated Academy Awards telecast ever. According to early Nielsen ratings, an average of just 9.8 million viewers tuned in to ABC to watch what was meant to be Hollywood's biggest night on April 25, 2021. It was also the lowest rated Oscars show ever.
The first - and hopefully the last - pandemic Academy Awards telecast wasn't just strange.
