They were hosted by Alan Alda, Jane Fonda and Robin Williams. The ceremony was watched by 38.93 million viewers, tying the 78th Academy Awards as the third-lowest rated telecast since 1966.^[1] The 80th Academy Awards still holds the distinction of the least watched ceremony, with 31.76 million viewers.
