NBC drops 2022 Golden Globes amid controversy

NBC will not televise the Golden Globes in 2022 over a series of controversies involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the network announced Monday. The news comes after a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed a lack of transparency in the HFPA's awarding system, alleged financial impropriety and a lack of diversity in its membership. 

"We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform," NBC said in a statement. "However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right." In March, the HFPA announced it would immediately begin working on implementing "transformational change" within the next 60 days, including mandating anti-racism and unconscious bias training, hiring an expert on diversity, having a third party law firm conduct a review of HFPA policies and committing to an expanded membership that is at least 13% Black.
