Golden Globes facing relevancy questions with no broadcast or celebrities attending
Fox News
The Golden Globes will happen on Sunday, but no one will be around to see them as the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association pairs down the ceremony significantly for the 2022 show.
Members of the HFPA and some recipients of the group’s philanthropic grants are gathering at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for a 90-minute private event starting at 9 p.m. ET Sunday. Those interested in who wins this year can follow along with the HFPA's social media feeds and website, where the nominees will be announced in real-time. Special emphasis, they say, will be given to their charitable efforts over the years.
That the organization is proceeding with any kind of event came as a surprise to many in Hollywood. The HFPA came under fire after a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed in February ethical lapses and a stunning lack of diversity — there was not a single Black journalist in the 87-person group. Studios and PR firms threatened to boycott. Tom Cruise even returned his three Golden Globes, while other A-listers condemned the group on social media.
