(CNN) Grammy ratings mirrored the Golden Globes from earlier this month, posting generally strong numbers while experiencing declines compared to last year. The question remains what that augurs for the Academy Awards, which will air February 9 in an unusual awards season that has shortened the gap between ceremonies, concentrating them into a five-week window. Notably, 2019 had registered a marginal improvement over the previous year, which experienced a precipitous loss of audience. The Golden Globes delivered 18.3 million viewers. CBS also noted that the Grammys posted a record number of views via its streaming service, CBS All Access, surpassing last year by more than 30%.
