This surge can be attributed to a record-setting Broadway season featuring productions with notable movie stars, resulting in high ticket sales. Despite not having many big-name nominees or standout mass-culture productions, the overall trend in awards show viewership has been upward, with other prestigious ceremonies like the Oscars and Emmys also seeing growth. These events remain key anchors for broadcast television in an era dominated by streaming alternatives.
