The transmission of Golden globes last Tuesday on the chain NBC done 1.1 rating points, 26% less than last year. However, this steep drop is quite compensated by the figure of 6.3 million viewers who watched it in streaming, just 9% less than the 2022 edition..
However, comparing this year’s and last year’s numbers to the pre-pandemic era is still concerning. In March 2021, the 78th Golden Globe Awards took place 1.5 rating points and 6.9 million viewersinstead, that of January 2020 had reached 18.3 million viewers.
It should also be noted that global transmission does not reach all countries, as before. This year, for example, in Argentina there was no way to see the ceremony live.

Additionally, the winner and six-time nominee, eddy murphyreceived the 2023 Cecil B. DeMille Award, while five-time Golden Globe winner and 16-time nominee, RyanMurphy, received the Carol Burnett Award.
Truth be told, the Golden Globes are far from the only awards shipment to have impacted ratings recently, as most have been on a steady decline since before the pandemic.
In September the The Emmys are down 25% compared to 2021 in total viewers and hit a new all-time low in audience ratings.
The Golden Globes seek to leave behind suspicions of corruption and recover lost prestige, as well as the The Grammys seek to balance the possibilities, and the Gotham Awards aim to remove dividing its categories by gender from its agenda.
