Audiences for Sunday’s Golden Globes broadcast fell 2% from last year to an average of 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen data released Tuesday.
A year ago, the Globes, an awards ceremony for film and television productions, attracted about 9.4 million viewers on , according to Nielsen data.
Globes producer Dick Clark Productions said Monday that audiences across CBS, Paramount+ and the CBS app averaged 10.1 million people. He used another measurement company, VideoAmp, which is a rival to Nielsen.
The Oscars, by comparison, attracted 19.5 million people last year on ABC, Walt Disney’s DIS.N channel.
Globes voters recognized “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Perez” with best picture awards Sunday, kicking off Hollywood’s awards season ahead of the Oscars in March.
Nikki Glaser, who hosted the show for the first time, received positive reviews. The comedian succeeded Jo Koy, whose performance was criticized last year.
“Her jokes were good, her delivery was tight and she deserved the good time she was clearly having,” television critic Robert Lloyd wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
The Globes winners are chosen by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries. Voter numbers have increased in recent years and organizers have implemented reforms after facing criticism for ethics violations and a lack of diversity.
The Globes aired on Comcast’s NBC CMCSA.O for years before moving to CBS in 2024.
