Sunday's broadcast of the Golden Globes on CBS PARA.O averaged 10.1 million viewers, a 7 percent increase over last year's reported audience, producer Dick Clark Productions said Monday.
The figure for the 2025 ceremony includes people who watched live on CBS, Paramount+ or the CBS app.
A year ago, the Globes attracted about 9.4 million viewers, CBS said at the time, citing Nielsen data.
This year's numbers were calculated by another company, VideoAmp, a rival measurement company to Nielsen. Nielsen's contract with CBS expired last September.
By comparison, the Oscars attracted 19.5 million viewers last year on Walt Disney's ABC channel DIS.N.
Globes voters recognized “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Perez” with best picture awards Sunday, kicking off Hollywood's awards season leading up to the Oscars in March.
Nikki Glaser, who hosted the show for the first time, received positive reviews. She succeeded Jo Koy, who was criticized for his performance last year.
“Her jokes were good, her delivery was tight, she deserved the good time she was clearly having,” television critic Robert Lloyd wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
Globe 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 ethical lapses and a lack of diversity.
The Globes aired on Comcast's NBC CMCSA.O for years before moving to CBS in 2024.
