Shortly after the Golden Globes aired this year, NBC announced that they would not be airing them in 2022. The reason being that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was not diverse enough, and it became public that members took gifts from studios and talent.
So, the HFPA went through a lot of changes, including adding more members of color and vowing not to receive gifts. Was that enough to change NBC’s mind? It was not.
However, they decided the show must go. A source told Variety, “The HFPA plans to recognize the performances of 2021 to celebrate the great work of the industry this past year at the 79th Annual Golden Globes.”
What that means, we do not know yet. They could do a press conference or try to find a place to televise the award show. But, they also have to find a venue to house them since they lost The Beverly Hilton.
Personally, I say take the year off. No one will miss them. It is not like there is a shortage of awards shows Far from it.
