Overview
- The 83rd Golden Globes drew 8.66 million live-plus-same-day viewers, a roughly 6–7% decline from 2025, according to Nielsen.
- Sunday’s ceremony lacked a direct late-afternoon NFL lead-in on CBS and competed with an NFL playoff game on NBC, factors cited for the drop.
- CBS reported the show’s largest social footprint to date with about 42–43 million interactions, while Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue reached roughly 14 million views within 36 hours.
- Nielsen’s incorporation of a big-data component this season changes how figures are calculated and complicates year-over-year comparisons to earlier panel-only reports.
- Major winners included One Battle After Another and Hamnet, as the Globes continued their third consecutive year on CBS under a multi-year broadcast deal.
