The Golden Globes increased in viewers as the Sunday event had over 10.1 million people watching, as stated by The Hollywood Reporter. The 2024 Golden Globes had 9.47 million viewers. The 2023 Golden Globes had 6.25 million in its last year on NBC. The status was revealed by Nielsen. The award show has increased by more than 7 percent and captivated more audiences. That information was given by CBS and VideoAmp figures.
The award show was hosted by Nikki Glaser (Anything Boys Can Do, Dancing with the Stars) and live-streamed on the CBS app and Paramount+. THR states that the live streams increased by nine percent. In 2024, CBS returned to hosting the Golden Globes, which began in 1982. After leaving NBC, the award show has a five-year deal with the television broadcasting company.
CBS is currently undergoing a fall-out with Nielsen and has been using VideoAmp as its rating provider for the past several months. CBS and Nielsen “don’t match up,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Both this year and last year’s Golden Globes featured an NFL game to introduce the event. This is in contrast to the final Sunday Night Football game on NBC in 2023. According to Nielsen, the final SNF game of the season had a total of 28.5 million viewers. The statistics alone reveal the best number for the SNF finale since 2012, per The Hollywood Reporter.
