For the first time, NBC televised the 4:40 p.m.EST Sunday afternoonNFL Wild Card playoff game (which has historically gone to anotherNFL broadcast partner such asFox) 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 onFacebook Watch instead of airing on NBC.[14]
