It was the top-rated "Golden Globes" in adults 18-49 since 2007 and equaled a 10-year high in that key demographic. In total viewers, it was the event's biggest overall audience since 2004. "The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards" also attracted NBC's top adult 18-49 and total-viewer results in the Sunday 8-11 p.m. ET time period, excluding sports, in the 10 YEARS since the 2004 "Globes" telecast.

Founded in the 1940s during World War II, the HFPA was originally comprised of a handful of LA based overseas journalists who sought to bridge the international community with Hollywood, and to provide distraction from the hardships of war through film. Seventy years later, members of the HFPA represent 55 countries with a combined readership of 250 million in some of the world's most respected publications. Each year, the organization holds the third most watched awards show on television, the Golden Globe Awards, which have enabled the organization to donate more than $18 million to entertainment related charities and scholarship programs.
