Unfortunately, the mayonnaise didn’t set. Only 926,000 French viewers followed the ceremony on France 2 in prime time. For comparison, The Victoires de la musique 2024the last awards ceremony to be broadcast on the channel, attracted 2.17 million viewers.
Disappointed viewers
On social networks, Internet users did not hide their dissatisfaction, especially with regard to the production of the show and the fact that the audience was filmed from behind. “Well, everyone is unanimous… The realization of #bravosdor is unfortunately catastrophic. How could a pro like Gérard Pullicino imagine something like that?”, “The #BravosDOrthe only awards ceremony in the world where the people on stage are filmed from behind… Strange, completely lame concept @FranceTV“, “What is this strange realization? Everything is filmed from behind. The real achievement is on the screen in front. It’s very disturbing and it doesn’t enhance the program. The theater is told to never have its back to the audience. It’s the same for TV. #BravosDOr“, “#BravosdorHonestly, I’m skipping it! In 2025, seeing a show filmed like beginners is clearly a shame! It’s cheap!“, “Sorry but the show is extremely poorly filmed ?????? Lol, what is this madness about framing people from behind while looking at them on a screen in front?? For the public it makes no sense and the spectators it is super unpleasant. To change for the pro year. #bravosdor #france2“, “Too bad, I’m skipping it. The realization is unbearable #BravosdOr“, we can read on X.

Once again, it was France 3 which did well on the evening of January 1 with the TV film The Mysteries of the Duchess which attracted 3,928,000 viewers. In second position, we find Wonder Woman with 2,472,000 viewers and in third position, The Lion King with 2,314,000 viewers.
Following this audience failure, there is little chance that the Gold Bravos return to France 2 for a second edition next year. “If this edition works, there will inevitably be a second one. If we mess up, there won’t be anyexplained Nagui before the big meeting. If there are no kudos, there is no reason to continue giving them.“
