Broadcast[edit]
For the first time, NBC televised the 4:40 p.m. EST Sunday afternoon NFL Wild Card playoff game (which has historically gone to another NFL broadcast partner such as Fox) as a lead-in to the Golden Globes. Because of the large viewership of NFL playoff games, this was expected to boost the Golden Globes' TV ratings, which dropped 11% between 2017 and 2018.[12] Despite the NFL lead-in, the Golden Globes achieved a lower household rating and less total viewers than the 2018 ceremony, though the show experienced a slight increase in the 18–49 demographic.[13]
The regular Golden Globes Red Carpet Preshow was livestreamed exclusively on Facebook Watch instead of airing on NBC.[14]
