Golden Globes 2020: viewer opinions on politics in the U.S. 2020
According to a survey conducted in January 2020 in the United States, 19 percent of responding adults who had watched or seen coverage about the 77th Golden Globe Awards felt that the ceremony was too political. Host Ricky Gervais had suggested to winners that they should not use their acceptance speeches to discuss politics, but several stars chose to talk about current affairs, voting, and climate change when they took the podium. However, the majority of respondents considered the ceremony to be 'just political enough'.
