Growing Hollywood pushback against the scandal-plagued Hollywood Foreign Press Association became an avalanche Monday, as NBC announced it won t broadcast the HFPA s Golden Globe Awards ceremony in 2022.
The network s decision comes after an array of top-flight film and TV companies, including Netflix, Amazon and WarnerMedia, distanced themselves from the HFPA and the Globes in recent days. The HFPA has not said whether it will try to hold a Globes ceremony next year.
The 87-member group, made up of critics for overseas media outlets, has been engulfed by issues ranging from preferential treatment sought by its members to lack of racial representation in its ranks, which included no Black members, according to a Los Angeles Times investigation this year.

LOS ANGELES (KUSI) – Amid continuing concern about the lack of diversity and overall management of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, NBC announced Monday it will not televise the Golden Globes next year.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” according to a statement from the network. “However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. 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.”
