This year's Golden Globe Awards show viewership showed a slight decline compared to the previous year. The audience is way down from several years ago.

The Golden Globe Awards drew an average of 9.3 million viewers for CBS on Sunday night, a modest decline from last year, according to Nielsen. The good news for the Globes is that the award show, on life support not long ago, has managed to stop the bleeding. Last year’s ceremony drew 9.4 million viewers, the first year it had broadcast on CBS.

The Golden Globes are on the rise. The awards show saw its viewership rise from last year’s event, according to CBS. Sunday’s awards, hosted by Nikki Glaser, drew 10.1 million viewers, according to VideoAmp figures. That’s up more than 7 percent from a year ago, when CBS aired the awards for the first time since 1982.
