Time zone-adjusted Nielsen numbers for ABC's live broadcast of the 72nd annual awards have the show drawing 6.1 million viewers and a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49. The previous low was set a year ago, when Fox had just under 7 million viewers and a 1.7 in the key ad demographic in the finals.
Sunday's telecast was down by about 13 percent year to year in total viewers, and by 29 percent in the 18-49 demo. Those numbers may inch up a little in the finals, when out of home viewing is factored in, but it's exceedingly unlikely they'll get above 2019's levels. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the live Emmy broadcast featured a handful of in-person appearances with Kimmel at L.A.'s Staples Center and remote acceptance speeches from winners, along with Emmy statuettes delivered to winners at their homes. Pop TV'swere the big winners.
The downward slide for the Emmys isn't a huge surprise. Broadcast viewing in general is down, and most awards shows this year have turned in smaller ratings than in 2019. The Emmy ceremony aired opposite both an NFL game and an NBA playoff contest on TNT.is the runaway leader in the early numbers, drawing close to three times as many viewers as the Emmys.Updated with time zone-adjusted ratings for the Emmys.
Not many people stands Hollywood crap anymore
What amazes me most is the amount of complaints I read about politics at the Emmys 😮 It's frightening to see how many Americans still don't understand they're on the wrong side of history here. More so, they don't see the parrells between Germany in the 30s & 40s and the USA.😥
Jimmy was not funny
That’s right no one cares
We are tired of hearing political BS. It's the Emmys Award not a political debate
What amazes me is that the ones who preach inclusiveness are the most closed-minded exclusive people alive - telling us what to think and how to think lest we be sanctioned by their political police. True love and inclusiveness means EVERYONE - even those outside your club.
What’s that old saying? “Get woke go broke”
Self-absorbed & self-important celebrities congratulating each other over zoom. So boring.
IMHO, the best reward/award is their huge paychecks. Awards are political at best and corrupt at worst.
A night of terrible jokes
nobody wants to watch sjw nonsense that is anti white.
Pat each other on back and say how woke they are...= loosers
Well Get Woke Go Broke ! Emmys
RIP Hollywood
YeH. Well. Keep making it sjw crap and virtue signaling. Even the intended audience doesn't want that crap.
😱
JIMMY KIMMEL IS PHONY RACIST....AMERICA KNOWS
Take it from someone who’s addicted to award shows - in light of what’s going on in the world in 2020, it just feels out of place.
Get woker Go broker
Let’s be honest...we all got bigger things we’re worrying about right now than taking time out off our day to watch celebrities give each other awards.
YellowFlashGuy Welp here ya go ha
What are Emmys ?
Yikes. But everything on traditional television is hitting all-time lows and I know many weren't interested in watching what they expected to be a Zoom teleconference. (But it was much better than that!) Check out my recap here.
Looking forward to Trump's essential tweet on this
