Part 2/8:
The CBS broadcast of the Golden Globes was intended to mark a reboot—a fresh start designed to rejuvenate the event's tarnished reputation. However, the results were nothing short of catastrophic. Viewers criticized the show as unfunny, awkward, and an outright disaster that exemplified Hollywood's increasing disconnect with mainstream audiences.
Industry headlines didn't hold back. Outlets such as Variety and others dismissed the night as an “awkward rush” with cringe-worthy humor and a failure to resonate. The event was heavily characterized by unfunny jokes, stilted delivery, and a sense that the entire production was out of touch.
