The controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association appears to have rocked
Tom Cruise to his core, as the Hollywood legend has reportedly returned all three of his Golden Globe trophies after NBC canceled the awards broadcast for 2022.
Cruise previously bagged awards for best actor in “Born on the Fourth of July” (1990) and “Jerry Maguire” (1997) and for best-supporting actor in “Magnolia” (2000). Deadline first reported that the actor shipped his trophies back to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association following NBC’s announcement that the network won’t air the 2022 Golden Globes.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” NBC said in a statement, as reported by Variety. “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

Amid ongoing issues surrounding diversity within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), NBC has said that it will not air the Golden Globes next year.
The HFPA currently has no Black members in its 87-person group of international journalists, which decides the nominees and winners of the Golden Globes. It reportedly hasn’t had a Black member in 20 years. Earlier this year, the HFPA pledged to increase its membership to 100 members, with a requirement that at least 13 percent of the membership be Black journalists.
“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. 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.”

Social justice accountability. It’s what the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization behind the Golden Globes, hasn’t got.
The HFPA hasn’t met the standards of Hollywood’s current diversity obsession and in turn NBC has cancelled its 2022 award show following criticism from major Hollywood players that the organization is not woke enough.
According to IndieWire.com, “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the annual fete [Golden Globes], was criticized for having zero Black members among its voting body of 87, among other corruptions within the organization.” Ah, we see. As a result NBC is calling for a total and complete shutdown of the 2022 Golden Globes until HPFA members can figure out what the hell is going on.

NBC has said it will not air next year’s Golden Globes ceremony amid backlash against organiser the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) over a lack of diversity.
The HFPA, the organisation behind the annual film and TV awards, has been under increasing fire since the publication of an LA Times report in February that revealed it had not had a single black member for 20 years.
Netflix, Amazon Studios and WarnerMedia are among the media giants to have already refused to participate in HFPA-related events, while Tom Cruise has returned the three Golden Globes he has won over the years to the HFPA.
