Oscars 2012 Ratings Up From Last Year

The ratings for this year’s Academy Awards are in – and it’s slightly higher than last year’s.

Nearly 39.3 million viewers tuned in for Sunday night’s big award show hosted by Billy Crystal, up 4 percent from 2011.

EW also notes that the “program out-delivered three of the past four Oscars telecasts and ranked as ABC’s most-watched program in two years.”

The 2012 Grammy Awards, however, drew a slightly larger audience for CBS earlier this month, most likely “boosted by the death of Whitney Houston.”

Diddy Celebrates Oscar Win for ‘Undefeated’ Documentary

Everything Sean “Diddy” Combs touches turns to gold. The music mogul scored another victory when Undefeated, the documentary he executive produced, won at the 84th Annual Academy Awards.

“Holy shit!!!!” tweeted Diddy after the football film picked up the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at Sunday’s show. “God is the greatest!!!! Thank you! #undefeated !!!! I am buggin.”

The film’s directors T.J. Martin and Dan Lindsay, along with producers Rich Middlemas, Glen Zipper, Ed Cunningham, and Seth Gordon, went on stage to accept the award and later posed backstage with their jubilant executive producer.

“Dreams do come true!!!!! #undefeated !!!! Let’s go!!!” added Diddy, who received an outpouring of support from his peers and Twitter followers.

The Bad Boy CEO got involved with the movie after meeting with Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. “When I was coming up and I went to high school, it was my dream to be a football player, and I broke my leg in the last day of camp,” Diddy told “ET.” “The movie really moved me in a personal way, but it could touch people in so many other ways.”

He celebrated the win by partying into the early morning at the Vanity Fair and Weinstein Company Oscar after-parties.

Amazing performances.

Kanye West Grammys: Rapper Takes Home Multiple Awards, Including Best Rap Album

Before the main 2012 Grammy Award broadcast even started, Kanye West had already won three awards.

During the non-televised pre-show, the rapper won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Collaboration with “All Of The Lights” (with Rihanna, Fergie, Elly Jackson, Elton John and more). He also won Best Rap Album for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy .

He and Jay-Z won Best Rap Performance for “Otis,” their track off Watch The Throne, bringing West’s total for the evening to four awards. Neither West nor Jay-Z were present to accept their award. Jay-Z is, of course, a new father and West had said he would never attend another award show after his 2009 incident with Taylor Swift.

West was not nominated for Best Album, a snub that had many scratching their heads. He was also for nominated for Best Rap Album for his collaboration with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne.

Jay-Z has long criticized the show for overlooking many major rap acts. “Rappers deserve more attention from the Grammy committee and from the whole world,” he said in 2002. “If it’s got a gun everybody knows about it; but if we go on a world tour, no one knows.”

West led the 2012 Grammy pack with seven nominations, but he was competing against himself for both Best Rap Song (“Otis” and “All Of The Lights”) and Best Rap Album (Watch The Throne and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy). The other nominees in the Best Rap Album category were Lil Wayne, Lupe Fiasco and Nicki Minaj for Best Rap Album. West now has an astounding 18 career Grammy wins.
