CBS
reported ratings figures from VideoAmp rather than the industry
standard audience measurement service, Nielsen. Paramount
Global, which owns CBS, is in a contract dispute with Nielsen.
At a time when most traditional linear telecasts are in decline,
holding steady from last year's Globes' audience was sure to
count as a success for the Nikki Glaser-hosted broadcast. Last
year's show, the Globes' first on CBS, drew an audience of 9.4
million, though that was according to Nielsen.
Before the pandemic, though, the Globes typically drew closer to
20 million viewers. In 2020, 18.4 million watched the Globes.
But the Globes were teetering on the brink of termination as
recently as two years ago. After The Los Angeles Times reported
that the HFPA had no Black members, Hollywood boycotted the
organization and the 2022 Globes were booted off the air. NBC
aired the 2023 edition and then dropped the awards show.
The 2024 Globes had their issues, too, with many calling the Jo
Koy-hosted ceremony a trainwreck. But the ratings rebounded and
CBS signed up for five more years. Following the scandals, the
awards were acquired by Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark
Productions, which Penske Media owns, and turned into a
for-profit venture.
Sunday's ceremony, which ran concurrently with NBC's broadcast
of the Minnesota Viking-Detroit Lions game, drew much better
reviews for Glaser. The top prizes of the night went to the
Netflix musical “Emilia Perez” and the A24 postwar epic “The
Brutalist.” On the TV side, FX's “Shōgun” and Max's “Hacks” went
home winners.
