With questions swirling about the future of the Golden Globe Awards, influential studios continued to back away from the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association, with WarnerMedia joining Netflix and Amazon Studios in cutting ties with the organization until sweeping reforms are enacted.
In a letter sent Sunday to HFPA president Ali Sar, top WarnerMedia executives said the company is putting all activities with the organization on hold, suggesting that its proposed reforms â designed to address a sweeping range of issues raised in a Feb. 21 Los Angeles Times investigation â are inadequate both in scope and pace.
With the move, Warner Bros. became the first major studio to distance itself from the HFPA, deepening a crisis for the organization that is threatening both its very existence and the awards show that it has put on for nearly 80 years.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. television network NBC said on Monday it will not broadcast Hollywood s Golden Globes ceremony in 2022 following complaints about ethical lapses and lack of diversity among the group that hands out the annual awards for film and television.
The decision came despite a plan approved last week by the small Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which hands out the awards, to recruit more Black members and make other changes over the next year.
NBC said in a statement on Monday that the reforms were not quick enough.

The network released the following statement Monday: “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. 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.”
