HOLLYWOOD, CA NBC has announced they will not broadcast the 2022 Golden Globes, adding to a growing list of major companies distancing themselves from Hollywood Foreign Press Association. HFPA has been receiving widespread pressure after it was revealed in February the organization had zero Black members and was accused of fostering a culture of corruption in a Los Angeles Times expose. 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.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the voting body which doles out the Golden Globe Awards each year, has had a stink on it for years. But this year, that stink finally transformed from a whiff that many high-profile celebrities and companies were willing to put up with into a full-blown stench that is generating significant consequences for the controversy-ridden organization. The latest blow came courtesy of
NBC, when the network announced today that it will not air the Golden Globes 2022 award ceremony because the HFPA needs time to adopt meaningful reform within its ranks.
