American television network NBC said Monday that it will not broadcast the Golden Globes award show in 2022. The move may lead to the end of one of Hollywood’s oldest and most-watched awards shows. The NBC announcement may have been caused by growing criticism of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the organization awarding the Golden Globes. Film production companies, movie stars and other parts of the movie industry have criticized the organization for its lack of diversity. They also accused the Golden Globes of creating a corrupt environment. Also on Monday, Variety and Deadline Hollywood reported that actor Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globes to the organization. He won those awards for his performances in Jerry Maguire, Magnolia and Born on the Fourth of July. In a statement, NBC said it believes the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is committed to change, but the changes needed cannot come quickly enough for next year’s show. “However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right,” the network said. “We are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023,” it added. The organization has been criticized following an investigative report in February by The Los Angeles Times. The story questioned the organization’s record on diversity. HFPA has about 90 members and none are Black. It has promised to change and last week approved a plan to diversify its membership, but several big Hollywood studios, including Netflix, Amazon and Warner Brothers have threatened to end their relationships with the organization.
