After an outcry against the lack of diversity, NBC canceled the 2022 Golden Globe Awards
The American television network National Broadcasting Corporation said on Monday that it will not hold the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards in 2022 due to complaints about ethical lapses and the lack of diversity of groups that issue annual film and television awards.
The main object of these complaints is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which manages the Golden Globe Awards. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Times published an investigation into the HFPA. These complaints aroused people’s attention. The investigation pointed out that no black people are currently registered as members of the organization.

NBC threw the hammer down on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association canceling plans to air the Golden Globes in 2022 due to the organization s ongoing controversy surrounding its practices. 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. The HFPA, which hands out the awards, came under fire since a report came from the Los Angeles Times citing questionable financial practices and a substandard record on diversity and representation.
