While the Golden Globes have seen a recent increase in viewership, their numbers are still significantly lower than pre-scandal levels. A 7% rise from last year's show is presented as a success story, but the reality is a 45% drop compared to five years ago.
Don’t buy the fake headlines. The Golden Globes might have climbed out of its dismal 2021 and 2023 ratings, but the award show is still down 45 percent in the ratings compared to just five years ago. In 2021, it all fell apart when only 6.9 million tuned in. In 2023, a mere 6.3 million tuned in. Last year, 9.4 million watched. This year 10.1 million submitted. Well, 2025’s 10.1 million is still 45 percent lower than 2023’s 18.3 million. Keep this in mind as you read these glowing stories: 10.
1 million viewers represents a 7% increase from last year’s show, which reached an average 9.4 million viewers (though last year’s total was measured by Nielsen). Hosted by Jo Koy, the 2024 ceremony was CBS’ first time airing the Golden Globes and achieved a 50% increase from NBC’s 2023 Globes telecast. (NBC’s viewership was likely impacted by the fact that 2023 marked the first Globes ceremony to take place after the scandals that wracked the now defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which conducted the awards.)“The Golden Globes are on the rise. The awards show saw its viewership rise from last year’s event, according to CBS.”: “Either way, the Globes audience continues to be on an upswing after hitting its lowest level two years ago when the show returned to airwaves post-HFPA scandal with 6.3M Nielsen viewers.”: “Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards averaged 10.1 million viewers across CBS and Paramount+ (and the CBS app), according to Dick Clark Productions, up 7.4 percent from last January’s show.” Only Deadline mentioned — in a single sentence deep in the article — the pre-2020 ratings numbers.
