Learn about the Golden Globes, the nominees and where to watch the delivery ceremony

In May 2021, the prestige and future of the Golden Globes were left hanging by a thread. After the controversy related to the lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and after Tom Cruise returned his three awards, NBC decided to cancel the broadcast of the 2022 gala. So this year there will be no stars, no red carpet, no television broadcast, so it was decided that the winners of the Golden Globes will be announced in a private ceremony -in its 79th edition- very reduced this Sunday in a 90-minute meeting at The Beverly Hilton Hotel starting at 8:00 p.m. (Ecuador time) and it is expected that they will be transmitted through some channel. The new wave of the pandemic is, however, what the organizers argued to justify this drastic change. The reality is that a streaming. Still, they are expected to be seen on the Golden Globes Awards YouTube Facebook and Instagram page.

The Golden Globes will be held without an audience or television broadcast

Hollywood studios tend to use the prestige of the Golden Globes as an impetus to promote their movies and television shows. This year, however, they are boycotting the traditional gala. “Right now, the majority in Hollywood is not paying attention to the Golden Globes,” says Marc Malkin, senior editor for culture and events at the trade magazine. Variety.

“If Hollywood is not recognizing these awards in any way, what do they really mean? I think none, “he added in an interview with AFP.

The boycott is the result of years of questionable practices by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), in charge of voting for the awards.

Hollywood inner circles had accused the group, of about a hundred writers specializing in entertainment and linked to foreign publications, of various crimes such as corruption and racism. But the weight that this ceremony had – only surpassed in prestige by the Oscars – kept criticism in the background, until the newspaper Los Angeles Times revealed that the HFPA had no black members, setting off a chain reaction.

The television NBC, which had the rights to the broadcast, pulled the show from its grid this year. Malkin claims that “the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did try to bring celebrities to come and announce this year’s winners of the Golden Globes. And no celebrities, none, agreed.”

Barometer

It is a very distant reality from the role that this award had, considered the “favorite Hollywood party”, and the first major event of the awards season.

The films awarded with the Golden Globes, even barely nominated, usually reported increases in the box office, so in previous years the studios invested in huge billboards in Los Angeles to show these recognitions.

‘Dune’, ‘Coda’ and ‘West Side Story’, among the films nominated for the Golden Globes

“The Golden Globes have always been important to anyone who is campaigning for an Oscar or an Emmy,” says Richard Licata, a communications strategist and CEO of Licata & Co.

After the scandal broke, the HFPA rushed to make changes. In 2021, the association admitted more members, in number and diversity, than in previous years. It banned its members from accepting gifts and lavish hotel stays, courtesy of vote-seeking studios. “With the passage of time, and the reorganization in the HFPA, which has regained control, I think that some people have interpreted that the boycott was more of a personal revenge,” says Licata.

Although in public, the studios maintain their distance from the HFPA, sources from the entertainment world have informed AFP that the members of the association have discreetly received links to see the films and have been invited to the premieres, many times at the request of their leading stars.
