Tom Cruise has returned his three Golden Globe trophies, joining many of the A-list actors and executives that are currently boycotting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.The HFPA controversy continues, now that the iconic actor is protesting against the lack of diversity among members of the organization, after it was revealed that none of the group’s 87 members are Black.And although they have promised to include a series of changes, adding 13 Black journalists as members, actors and executives are calling for a much bigger change, including Ava DuVernay, Shonda Rhimes, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson.NBC is also speaking up and has decided not to broadcast the annual Golden Globe Awards next year.Johansson explained why she

Tom Cruise has reportedly returned his three Golden Globe trophies as a protest against the lack of diversity among members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). HFPA leaders are currently under fire from a host of A-list stars and entertainment executives after it was revealed none of the group's 87 members are black.

After Hollywood actors such as Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Cruise and more stood up against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for not taking diversity and inclusion more seriously, NBC  announced on Monday that it will not air the Golden Globes in 2022. The decision comes following HFPA's failure to make significant reforms.

In a recent chain of events, NBC has altogether canceled the 2022 Golden Globes amidst the intense scrutiny surrounding Hollywood Foreign Press Association. During the 2021 broadcast of Golden Globes, HFPA members addressed the issue regarding lack of cultural diversity as there was not one black member in all of the jury consisting of international journalists.

The most dramatic awards season ever may not include any shows at all. NBC announced on May 10, that they will no longer air the Golden Globes in 2022 following backlash against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The future of the Golden Globes – and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the small group of international journalists who decide the nominees and winners every year – is currently up in the air. Following a damning report by the Los Angeles Times about the HFPA’s galling lack of diversity – there are no Black journalist among the 87-member group – and a second LA Times report alleging rampant corruption, the Golden Globes have faced a huge backlash from studios, television networks, and A-List celebrities.

according to the Hollywood Reporter. “As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes.

To say this isn’t a great time to be a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is an understatement. Not only was this year’s Golden Globes, which hands out trophies based on the voting of the HFPA, incredibly low-rated and not very high quality, but a Los Angeles Times report before that event painted a picture of an organization that is not very diverse and is prone to accepting gifts in exchange for possible recognition.

Avengers star is one of many industry figures to condemn the awards body, which has faced criticism for a lack of diversity, discriminatory practices and a lack of transparency surrounding its voting processes. Last week, the HFPA confirmed a list of proposed reforms in an effort to address the criticism, though open letters published last Friday (7 May) by the Time’s Up organisation and a coalition of more than 100 PR firms suggest that the changes did not go far enough.

Golden Globe Awards, saying that they need “fundamental reform”.It comes after The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the organisers of the Golden Globe Awards, faced questions over alleged corruption and a lack of diversity after they were the subject of an exposé by the LA Times earlier this year.The committee behind the awards pledged “transformational change” after it was revealed that there hadn’t been a Black member of the HFPA for decades, as well as alleged corrupt behaviour from the board.As reported by the BBC, Johansson has become the latest actor to criticise the organisation, alleging that she faced “sexist questions and remarks by certain HFPA members that bordered on sexual harassment”.#ChangeIsGolden
