Another award show, another record low for that show as Hollywood continues to hate the very people who make or break them:
"This year reports Programming Insider, only 5.36 million total viewers tuned in to the Golden Globes.
For comparison, on that same Tuesday night, over at CBS, two out of three of its procedural dramas beat the once-mighty Globes. At 8 p.m., the FBI drew 6.43 million viewers. At 10 p.m., FBI: Most Wanted attracted 5.92 million.
At its height, The Golden Globe Awards on NBC, which signal the unofficial start of the awards season, attracted as many as 26.8 million viewers (in 2004, according to Nielsen Media Research).

In 2020 when there were just as many streaming services and cable networks as there are today, the Golden Globes attracted 18.33 million total viewers."

The host was a nobody who literally told the audience in the opening monologue that he was only hired b/c "he's black." Kevin Hart is black too.
But why hire someone who's funny, charismatic, and beloved by just about every human on earth? Reasons.
And of course Ricky Gervais is still alive, ain't he? He's the one that generated that big number in 2020. But he cut just a wee bit too close to the bone when he told the audience that they were friends of Harvey Weinstein, not him.
So Hollywood continues to careen towards utter irrelevancy, all while breathing deeply of their own fart gas.
