NBC Will Not Air Golden Globes in 2022, Tom Cruise Returns Awards
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) — the organization that selects nominees and winners at the Golden Globe Awards — has been under fire since this year’s award show, where they were called out for not having a single Black voting member by a number of presenters.
The HFPA has also been under scrutiny for alleged corruption, including receiving bribes from movie studios, TV networks and actors.
As of today, NBC (where the award show has aired for decades) has announced that it won’t air the next ceremony. In a statement, a spokesperson for the network said:
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Tom Cruise has just reportedly mailed all three of his Golden Globes to the HFPA headquarters in protest the organization’s lack of diversity.
