Quote:Golden Globes viewership took a huge pandemic hit after its one-of-a-kind virtual ceremony on Sunday night.

It turns out, even though most viewers were home anyway, they decided not to watch the 2021 show, as Nielsen ratings recorded a paltry 6.9 million viewers, Deadline reported on Tuesday.

Viewership has gradually tanked for the ceremony. Last year’s awards show saw 18.3 million viewers, down 2% from 2019’s total viewership, according to Nielsen. Nothing has yet to top 2004, which had almost 27 million viewers.

In the key demo of adults aged 18 to 49, the 2021 show notched a 1.5 rating, a new all-time low; the 2020 show had a 4.7 rating in that demo.

Quote:In another positive sign that Americans are waking up, former President Donald J. Trump absolutely crushed Hollywood this week.

Trump’s show-stopping return to the political realm with a CPAC speech that brought down the house and put his enemies on notice was a ratings smash, drawing millions of viewers on social media and live streaming networks alone.

According to a quick search, you can see that Trump’s speech received well over 10 million views on YouTube ALONE!
