An average of 10.1 million viewers tuned into the 82nd Golden Globes across CBS and Paramount+, matching last year's broadcast audience, as reported by Dick Clark Productions. This year's ratings were provided by VideoAmp due to a contract dispute between Paramount Global, CBS' parent company, and Nielsen, the standard audience measurement service in the industry.
Despite the overall decline in traditional linear telecasts, maintaining the same viewership as the previous year was considered a success for the Nikki Glaser-hosted Golden Globes. In 2021, the show attracted 9.4 million viewers according to Nielsen. Before the pandemic, the Globes typically drew nearly 20 million viewers, with 18.4 million tuning in during 2020.
