Golden Globes Ratings Down From 2018; Four-Year Low In Early Numbers

Last night’s 76th Golden Globe Awards saw big surprises like Bohemian Rhapsody’s big win for Best Motion Picture — Drama, a big send-off for FX’s The Americans, flu shots, a trio of victories for Green Book, some history made by co-host Sandra Oh, and a Saturday Night Live alum mock marriage proposal.
Clocking in at around 3 hours and 20 minutes and coming right after a NFL Wild Card playoff game that threatened to run long, the ceremony fronted by Oh and Andy Samberg was a bit more traditional than usual and never even mentioned Donald Trump once. Kicking off the awards season, the omission of the often Hollywood-reviled former Celebrity Apprentice host came despite pointed political remarks by Vice star Christian Bale, Roma director Alfonso CuarĂłn, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story executive producer Brad Simpson.
The 76th Golden Globes snared a 12.7/21 rating in metered market results. That’s down 5% from the early metrics of 75th Golden Globes of January 7, 2018, which were basically even with the 2017 Jimmy Fallon-hosted ceremony. Tracking across the years, last night’s Globes were the lowest in metered markets since the 2015 ceremony, when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were co-hosts for their third and final stint.
While the 5% decline is relatively modest, it is worth noting that the Golden Globes’ lead-in this year was several times bigger than the last two years when the NFL Wild Card game aired on Fox, and NBC ran a Globes red carpet special from 7-8 PM. The Globes also faced higher-rated, football-boosted Fox lineup, led by The Simpsons, in 2017 and 2018.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Becoming more irrelevant even without the Trump bashing. Maybe they are waking up?
China is a net importer of food, they can not grow enough to feed their own people. Plus, Chinese prefer imported grains, vegetables, meat and especially milk products due to quality issues. By quality I mean babies dying due to tainted products.
The quality of most US food exports is very good. Japan LOVES USA meat, cheap and good quality.
China wants USA food products, badly. This is why Trump is negotiating hard.
