So, The Golden Globes aired Tuesday... and absolutely nobody watched

Loss of 12 million viewers in a matter of 3 yrs (and it didn't even air in 2022).


As a reminder, this was the host in 2020:

The numbers are in, and the ceremony was not watched across the globe. 

The 2023 Golden Globes on Tuesday night hit a historic low in viewership numbers, bringing in just 6.3 million people, according to data from Nielsen. For comparison, at the height of the pandemic, in 2021, the broadcast drew 6.9 million, while 2020 boasted 18.3 million viewers.

Hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael, the show, which aired on NBC, started with a bang, as he addressed the elephant in the room — and the reason why last year’s telecast was cancelled — about the lack of diversity among the Hollywood Foreign Press, the awards’ parent organization. He also got in a zinger about Scientology‘s allegedly missing First Lady, Shelly Miscavige.

The Globes’ lack of diversity and inclusion may have been enough to keep some viewers tuned-out this year.
Meanwhile, as the anti-“woke”
warriors of Twitter would indicate, a more self-aware awards show wouldn’t be enough to get them interested.

The night was filled with a mix of good and bad moments. Plenty of big name shows won, including “House of the Dragon” bafflingly taking the “Best Drama” series trophy, for some reason, and Colin Farrell and Martin McDonagh both winning big for their film, “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Eddie Murphy got a career achievement award.


It was a big night for “Abbott Elementary,” too, and Angela Bassett made history as the first actress to win for a role in the MCU. Jennifer Coolidge dominated the night, with not one but two memorable monologues onstage.


But apparently, none of that was enough to draw a crowd. It narrowly avoided missing being the all-time low, but the 2008 writer’s strike meant that year had the lowest numbers, with just 6 million tuning in.

The Globes used to happen on Sunday nights, so it’s possible that not enough people were aware it was airing on a Tuesday.

My sister works in the industry, and she and her friends didn't even bother watching it. Seems like they might have a bigger issue than just marketing.

Right?

I attribute me missing it to I don’t watch much live TV anymore so I miss any of the big advertising they have for it. And I really didn’t see much about it online until after the fact.

Glad HotD got some love though.

It is for me. I enjoy idiots having their idiocy realized right in front of their eyes.

Not that they care, but it's nice to see.

Yes, this must be it. It couldn't possibly be any other reason.

I wouldn't have known about it at all except that Mark Dice did a video on it afterward

2020 came on right after a playoff game….I think.

I believe people in general are over award shows. Really don’t care all that much to see rich people honor themselves and then lecture everyone else about how virtuous they are.

Progressives are clueless about mainstream perspective.
Not many are interested in token participation trophies.

Here come the folks that love tell everyone they didn’t watch it but oddly know everything that happened on the show.

Golden Globes have been a joke for a long time IIRC.

People like Sharon Stone bribing the right people to get a nomination for The Muse comes to mind.
