NBC said it plans to air the 2023 Golden Globes, assuming the Hollywood Foreign Press Association follows through on its reform pledge.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
NBC announced it will not be airing the Golden Globes in 2022.
This comes amid growing pressure on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: Netflix, Warner Bros. and many Hollywood stars have threatened boycotts over the association s lack of inclusiveness.
In a statement, NBC said it believes the press association is committed to reform, but that change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.

Pfizer COVID-19 shot expanded to US children as young as 12
U.S. regulators on Monday expanded the use of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine to children as young as 12, offering a way to protect the nation s adolescents before they head back to school in the fall and paving the way for them to return to more normal activities.
Shots could begin as soon as Thursday, after a federal vaccine advisory committee issues recommendations for using the two-dose vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds. An announcement is expected Wednesday.
Most COVID-19 vaccines worldwide have been authorized for adults. Pfizerâs vaccine is being used in multiple countries for teens as young as 16, and Canada recently became the first to expand use to 12 and up. Parents, school administrators and public health officials elsewhere have eagerly awaited approval for the shot to be made available to more kids.

Amid growing pressure on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association from studios, stars and large swaths of the film industry, NBC said Monday that will not air the Golden Globes in 2022, putting in doubt the viability of one of Hollywood s oldest and most-watched award shows.
In a statement, the network said it believes the press association which is facing possible boycotts from Netflix, Warner Bros. and many Hollywood actors is committed to reform. 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. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.
