Despite the glitz and glamour of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, the telecast wasn’t a big draw. This year’s ceremony actually had its lowest numbers of its 13-year NBC history. This allowed CBS, boosted by an earlier Steelers/Charges game, to take the night in the viewers and demos.
8pm
- Approximately 14.6 million saw Slumdog Millionaire take top prize at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards (4.8/11 in 18-49).
- 60 Minutes (4.0/9) reported to 13.7 million.
- 24‘s adult demo numbers (12.5 million, 4.2/9) were the smallest ever for a series premiere.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 700,000.
