The 2022 Golden Globes have been canceled, as NBC waits to see if The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will enact changes after its commitment to reform.
In a statement made by NBC on Monday, the company said that the decision came as a result of attempting to allow the HFPA to change in the right way.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” said the Comcast-owned network this morning. “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.”
Within the past week alone, both Netflix and Amazon released statements saying that neither streamer would work with the HFPA until significant changes were made. On Monday, NBC which has been the broadcast home for the Golden Globes stated that it would not air the awards show in 2022. “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform, NBCUniversal wrote 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.”
