Golden Globes return after Hollywood boycott

<p><strong>Golden Globes 2023:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/rrr-oscar-campaign-gets-a-huge-boost-ss-rajamouli-takes-best-director-award-at-new-york-film-critics-awards-539603"> SS Rajamouli's 'RRR'</a></strong> was a huge hit in India and even earned respectable money through a limited release in overseas markets like North America and Europe. But it was the Netflix release worldwide that catapulted the film from&nbsp;the 'mildly popular' category to a worldwide sensation. One of the&nbsp;film's songs 'Naatu Naatu' has become something of a phenomenon across the world, with thousands of people recreating&nbsp;the song's choreography&nbsp;and sharing it on social media sites. Everyone from comedians to actors to filmmakers in Hollywood has found themselves transfixed by the audacious action of the film and the direction of Rajamouli. The director&nbsp;had similarly enjoyed rapturous responses the world over for his 'Baahubali' movies, though 'RRR' arguably has an even bigger impact.</p>

<h2>What is 'RRR' all about?</h2>

<p>'RRR' follows two real-life revolutionaries who took on the might of the British Empire in the early 20th century. Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao) join forces in 1920 to fight the colonialists. Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris were also in the cast of 'RRR'.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Has 'RRR' been nominated in the Golden Globes?</h2>

<p>Yes. The film has scored two nominations: in the Best Non-English Language Film and Best Original Song categories. Rajamouli, Rao Jr, and Charan will be present at the Golden Globes 2023 event.</p>

<p>Also Read:<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/rrr-oscar-campaign-nt-rama-rao-jr-ram-charan-to-make-first-us-appearance-with-ss-rajamouli-in-la-screening-548231">&nbsp;'RRR' Oscar campaign: NT Rama Rao Jr, Ram Charan to make first US appearance with SS Rajamouli in LA screening</a></strong></p>

<h2>How did 'RRR' become such a humongous success?</h2>

<p>Rajamouli has always been an expert at crafting cinematic set pieces. We saw that ability play a big part&nbsp;in the 'Baahubali' movies. He is extremely careful about the technical aspects of his films. That done, he creates sequences that may not follow logic, and they are not meant to, but are wildly entertaining once you surrender your faculties to the film. He makes no pretence of creating action that follows the laws of physics or any such thing. He delivers&nbsp;crazy, outlandish, gravity and logic-defying&nbsp;spectacle that you have&nbsp;to enjoy on his own terms. 'RRR' is the most Rajamouli-ish Rajamouli has ever been. In India, the film was quite a big hit, but we have seen such big, masala-stuffed films before, though nothing on that scale.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rest of the world? They hadn't. And the movie being available on Netflix made sure the commitment to watch the admittedly fairly long movie wasn't that big. And they simply fell under the spell cast by Rajamouli. As per author and 'Doctor Strange' co-screenwriter C. Robert Cargill 'RRR' "is a level of spectacle that defies description."</p>

<h2>What chances 'RRR' has in Golden Globes 2023?</h2>

<p>The answer to this question is not simple. The Indian government chose Pan Nalin's Gujarati film 'Chhello Show' as an official entry for the Oscars in the 'Best Foreign Film' category, but that has not deterred Rajamouli and his backers in the US. They have become even more enthusiastic about the film's chances in major categories including Best Director and Best Picture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That was the Oscars. But the movie did not sadly get nominated in the top categories of Golden Globes, like Best Picture, Best Director, and so on. And the awards, organised and presented by Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), do often seem to have an effect on the ultimate outcome of the Academy Awards. While Golden Globes awards movies and shows and individuals for best work in the decided duration, the Oscars are exclusively for films.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also the winners of Globes are chosen by a coterie of journalists (the aforementioned HFPA). Oscar winners are chosen by a jury. This is one of the reasons the Oscars have a better reputation (though the Will Smith-Chris Rock incident in March, 2022 did dent the Academy's reputation).</p>

<p>So what are the chances? The best chance for the Rajamouli film is 'Naatu Naatu'. A truly amazingly choreographed song with a catchy tune, it has captured the imagination of millions around the world. It may even be the best-known thing about the film. There are few other songs in the category that stand a chance against 'Naatu Naatu'.</p>

<p>When it comes to the other category in which the film is nominated, Best Non-English Language Film, the acclaimed German anti-war film 'All Quiet on the Western Front' may play spoilsport for 'RRR'. There is also Park Chan-wook's 'Decision to Leave', which is also a widely-praised film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So while the Best Original Song category looks nearly certain, the other category is less so. Also, Golden Globes, more than the Oscars, are known to be more unpredictable, though more so in the TV categories. With the ceremony a little more than 10 days away, our questions and curiosities are soon going to be answered. For more coverage of the Golden Globes, stay tuned.</p>

'RRR' at Golden Globes 2023: Decoding the chances of SS Rajamouli's epic

<p>Television writer and producer Ryan Murphy, creator of hits from "Glee" to "9-1-1" and "American Horror Story," will receive a lifetime achievement honor at Hollywood's Golden Globes ceremony next month.</p>

<p>Murphy's appearance will add another big name to the Jan. 10 lineup as organizers try to rebound from a diversity and ethics scandal.</p>

<p>The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that votes on the Golden Globes, said it would celebrate Murphy's contributions to television with its fourth Carol Burnett Award. Previous honorees were Burnett, Ellen DeGeneres and Norman Lear.</p>

<p>Murphy, 57, won fans for his musical TV series "Glee" from 2009 to 2015. His other credits include anthology series "American Horror Story," drama series "9-1-1" and "Pose," a show that broke ground with a large transgender cast.</p>

<p>The HFPA also said this week it would honor comedian Eddie Murphy with the Cecil B. DeMille award, a lifetime achievement award for film work, at the January ceremony.</p>

India's 'RRR' gets 5 nominations at Critics Choice Awards after Golden Globes nods

<p>The nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards were unveiled on Monday, December 12. The Golden Globes claim to honour the best work in film and television. While the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA for short), the organisation behind the awards, tried its best to salvage its reputation and nominated a fairly diverse list of actors and actresses. But in many cases, it still glaringly the mark. The nominations, like every year, did not please or satisfy everybody. On social media sites and elsewhere, many viewers have expressed their disappointment and displeasure at some of the decisions the HFPA jury made while voting for the nominations.</p>

<p>Please allow us to add our voice too to this cacophony. Here are three of the snubs and surprises in the 2022 Golden Globes nominations:</p>

<h2><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-how-better-call-saul-became-kim-wexlers-story-501183">Rhea Seehorn — Snub</a></strong></h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qEhUSaEhFOU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>While others in this list can be forgiven, this one can't. Bob Odenkiek deservedly received a nomination in the Best Actor category, but Rhea Seehorn was snubbed in the Best Actress category. Anybody with half a brain who has seen the entire show is in awe of Seehorn's performance across all the six seasons. She should not have just been nominated. She should have won the trophy. It is a testament to her talent that a character who was conceived as a mere love interest to Jimmy McGill, Bob Odenkirk's fast-talking lawyer who is better known as Saul Goodman of 'Breaking Bad'. But thanks to Seehorn's multi-faceted performance, Kim grew up to be so much more than just a love interest. It was as though she had a life of her own beyond the script in some other parallel world and the writers could get a glimpse into that life and were able to put that faithfully on paper.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is fair to say that Tom Cruise-led 'Top Gun: Maverick' was one of the most exciting movies of 2022. A fast-paced adventure with stunningly mounted action set pieces. So it was a little disheartening for Cruise's fans to find out the film's lead actor was not nominated in the Best Actor category.</p>

The nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards were unveiled on Monday, December 12. The Golden Globes claim to honour the best work in film and television. While the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA for short), the organisation behind the awards, tried its best to salvage its reputation and nominated a fairly diverse list of actors and actresses. But in many cases, it still glaringly the mark. The nominations, like every year, did not please or satisfy everybody. On social media sites and elsewhere, many viewers have expressed their disappointment and displeasure at some of the decisions the HFPA jury made while voting for the nominations. Please allow us to add our voice too to this cacophony. Here are three of the snubs and surprises in the 2022 Golden Globes nominations: Rhea Seehorn — Snub While others in this list can be forgiven, this one can't. Bob Odenkiek deservedly received a nomination in the Best Actor category, but Rhea Seehorn was snubbed in the Best Actress category. Anybody with half a brain who has seen the entire show is in awe of Seehorn's performance across all the six seasons. She should not have just been nominated. She should have won the trophy. It is a testament to her talent that a character who was conceived as a mere love interest to Jimmy McGill, Bob Odenkirk's fast-talking lawyer who is better known as Saul Goodman of 'Breaking Bad'. But thanks to Seehorn's multi-faceted performance, Kim grew up to be so much more than just a love interest. It was as though she had a life of her own beyond the script in some other parallel world and the writers could get a glimpse into that life and were able to put that faithfully on paper. Kim Wexler was one of TV's most incredible characters, perhaps the best non-titular character in any TV show in quite a while, powered by an astonishing Seehorn who, in an ideal world, should taken all the accolades in existence. Tom Cruise — Snub It is fair to say that Tom Cruise-led 'Top Gun: Maverick' was one of the most exciting movies of 2022. A fast-paced adventure with stunningly mounted action set pieces.

Golden Globes to return to NBC in 2023 after off-air ceremony in 2022

<p>Golden Globes is now a for-profit entity controlled by US billionaire Todd Boehly. The scandal-hit group Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is undergoing a drastic change in order to "save the annual Golden Globe Awards". The annual awards show will now be handled by Eldridge Industries, according to Variety.</p>

<p>For the first time in decades, the annual awards show went untelevised this year amid criticism for the HFPA's lack of diversity. The organisation has been plagued by allegations of racism, corruption and amateurism and has faced a lot of backlash in the last few years.</p>

<p>Their latest move to hand over all assets and rights to the intellectual property of Golden Globes to Eldridge is said to be a "step forward to transform and adapt to the increasingly competitive economic landscape for both awards shows and the journalism marketplace."</p>

<p>Eldridge will create a new private company after it&nbsp;acquires all rights for the Golden Globes intellectual property. They will&nbsp;be empowered to oversee the professionalization and modernization of the high-profile awards show.&nbsp;The HFPA, however, will remain a non-profit entity and will focus on charitable efforts largely funded by the Golden Globes.</p>

<p>HFPA President Helen Hoehne, in an official statement, said on Thursday, "This is a historic moment for the HFPA and the Golden Globes." He further added, "Our special committee and team of legal and financial advisors did an incredible amount of work in reviewing, analyzing, and comparing the options presented to us. We are excited to move forward with a mandate to ensure we continue our support for increasing diversity in all areas and maintaining our life-changing charitable and philanthropic efforts."</p>

<p>As part of the transition, more Golden Globes voters will be added to the group “to increase the size and diversity of the available voters for the annual awards.”</p>

Morning news brief: US-Russia talks in Geneva, Golden Globes 2022 and more

<p>"Belfast" and "West Side Story" are among the frontrunners for a drastically scaled-down 79th Golden Globes on Sunday, where winners will be unveiled via Twitter from an untelevised ceremony that is being boycotted by Hollywood.</p>

<p>The Globes -- in the past billed as Tinseltown's biggest party and the key first stop on the film awards circuit -- have this year been stripped of their usual A-list glamour, as a row swirls over organizers' ethical practices.</p>

<p>NBC has scrapped its TV broadcast, and instead the Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- whose members vote on the Globes -- will announce the winners on social media from 6:00 pm (0200 GMT Monday).&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/golden-globe-awards-2022-the-complete-nomination-list-436650">Golden Globe Awards 2022: The complete nomination list</a></p>

<p>"The Golden Globes this year are going to be like no other Golden Globes we've ever seen before," said Marc Malkin, Variety's senior culture and events editor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And really, we're not going to see much."</p>

<p>"Belfast," Kenneth Branagh's poignant black-and-white account of the outbreak of sectarian violence in the city of his birth during the late 1960s, topped the film nominations with seven, alongside Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog."</p>

<p>Campion's dark Western starring Benedict Cumberbatch, which tackles toxic masculinity in 1920s Montana, would be the second film directed by a woman to win the top best drama prize if it fends off "Belfast," after last year's "Nomadland."</p>

<p>In the comedy or musical categories, Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" remake flopped at the box office but was adored by critics, and is expected to score strongly with Globes voters.</p>

<p>It competes with "Don't Look Up," a star-studded climate change satire in which scientists played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence try to warn a distracted world -- and the US president (Meryl Streep) -- about their impending doom.</p>

<p>On the television side, "Succession," HBO's drama about a media tycoon's warring family, leads with five nods.</p>

<p>But the award races, which are usually closely followed for the immediate boost to box office tallies and Oscar hopes that a Globes win can provide, have been hugely overshadowed by the long-brewing row over ethical lapses at the HFPA.</p>

<p>- Silence -</p>

<p>The group of 100-odd entertainment writers with links to foreign publications has been accused of a litany of failings from corruption to racism.</p>

<p>A Los Angeles Times expose found the HFPA had no Black members, opening the floodgates for criticism from across Hollywood including from A-list stars. Tom Cruise last year returned his statuettes in protest.</p>

<p>Organizers have officially cited the resurgent pandemic as the reason for Sunday's behind-closed-doors event, but Variety's Malkin said the HFPA had tried and failed to convince celebrities to attend.</p>

<p>Since the scandal broke, the HFPA has rushed through reforms, admitting its biggest ever annual intake, including several Black and other minority members.</p>

<p>It has banned members from accepting lavish gifts and hotel stays from studios courting their votes.</p>

<p>Whether those reforms will be enough to entice Hollywood stars and broadcasters back in the coming years remains to be seen.</p>

<p>But this year, almost no actors or studios have publicly acknowledged their Globes nominations -- and it is widely expected that many winners on Sunday will respond with a similar stony silence.</p>

<p>"If they are named a winner, no one is going to release a statement saying how happy they are to be recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association," said Malkin.</p>

<p>"If you're a studio that hopes to get Golden Globe recognition, but then you get the Golden Globe and you actually don't celebrate it, does it matter?"</p>

In the comedy or musical categories, Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" remake flopped at the box office but was adored by critics, and is expected to score strongly with Globes voters. It competes with "Don't Look Up," a star-studded climate change satire in which scientists played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence try to warn a distracted world -- and the US president (Meryl Streep) -- about their impending doom. On the television side, "Succession," HBO's drama about a media tycoon's warring family, leads with five nods. But the award races, which are usually closely followed for the immediate boost to box office tallies and Oscar hopes that a Globes win can provide, have been hugely overshadowed by the long-brewing row over ethical lapses at the HFPA. - Silence - The group of 100-odd entertainment writers with links to foreign publications has been accused of a litany of failings from corruption to racism. A Los Angeles Times expose found the HFPA had no Black members, opening the floodgates for criticism from across Hollywood including from A-list stars. Tom Cruise last year returned his statuettes in protest. Organizers have officially cited the resurgent pandemic as the reason for Sunday's behind-closed-doors event, but Variety's Malkin said the HFPA had tried and failed to convince celebrities to attend. Since the scandal broke, the HFPA has rushed through reforms, admitting its biggest ever annual intake, including several Black and other minority members. It has banned members from accepting lavish gifts and hotel stays from studios courting their votes. Whether those reforms will be enough to entice Hollywood stars and broadcasters back in the coming years remains to be seen. But this year, almost no actors or studios have publicly acknowledged their Globes nominations -- and it is widely expected that many winners on Sunday will respond with a similar stony silence. "If they are named a winner, no one is going to release a statement saying how happy they are to be recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association," said Malkin. "If you're a studio that hopes to get Golden Globe recognition, but then you get the Golden Globe and you actually don't celebrate it, does it matter?"

Off-air Golden Globes to list winners as Hollywood boycott bites

In a year beset by controversy, the biggest party in Hollywood Golden Globes was reduced to little more than a Twitter feed. Unlike previous years, the ceremony took place behind closed doors without any presenters, audience, or celebrities.

Golden Globes held behind closed doors, no audience no presenters

<p>First, the Golden Globes were going to go toe-to-toe with the Critic’s Choice Awards on Sunday night. Now, after the critics’ ceremony was postponed amid the omicron surge, the Globes will have Sunday night all to themselves for a big, splashy …</p>

<p>… audience-less, glorified PowerPoint presentation. Which may or may not be livestreamed.</p>

<p>After NBC bowed out as the broadcaster for this year’s event over ethical missteps and a lack of diversity at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group of journalists that puts on the Golden Globes, the ceremony Sunday will be decidedly low-key. A small number of vaccinated, boosted, masked, socially distanced HFPA members and other guests will attend the 90-minute event, kicking off at 9 p.m. Eastern time (6 p.m. Pacific) in the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. There will be no red carpet or outside media covering the night in person.</p>

<p>It seems the event will be more like a graduation ceremony than the freewheeling party of years past.</p>

<p>Muted format aside, there are still some names to watch: Jane Campion is the favorite to take home her first Golden Globe in the best director category for “The Power of the Dog,” Will Smith and Kristen Stewart could build Oscar momentum with wins for “King Richard” and “Spencer,” and “West Side Story” could score big with wins in several categories.</p>

<p>Here’s a recap of how we got here and what to expect.</p>

<p><strong>What exactly is the controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association?</strong></p>

<p>In February, the Los Angeles Times published an investigation that uncovered infighting, possible financial missteps, questionable journalistic ethics and a jarring lack of diversity in the HFPA’s ranks. (Not a single one of the organization’s 80-plus voting members, the paper found, were Black.) A New York Times article published a few days later explored the finances of the group, a tax-exempt nonprofit, and reported that it had paid more than $3 million in salaries and other compensation to its members and staff, and that a tax filing showed it had paid $1.3 million in travel costs one year.</p>

<p>The scandal-ridden group also came under scrutiny after reports revealed that more than one-third of the HFPA members had been flown on a luxury press trip to the French set of the Netflix series “Emily in Paris” in 2019, after which the critically panned comedy picked up two Golden Globes nominations.</p>

<p><strong>How has the HFPA responded?</strong></p>

<p>During the 2021 Golden Globes telecast in February, leaders of the group committed to diversifying their membership — a vague, underwhelming overture that fell flat in Hollywood. Then, after NBC announced in May that it would not air the 2022 ceremony, the HFPA released a statement that said it was working to reform itself with “extreme urgency” and offered a timeline for changes. In the months since, the HFPA has hired its first chief diversity officer, adopted new rules that prohibit members from accepting gifts from studios and added its first outside board members. In October, it added 21 new journalists to its ranks, 29% of whom it said identified as Black.</p>

<p><strong>How has Hollywood responded?</strong></p>

<p>Celebrities like Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo criticized the HFPA for its proposed changes, arguing they fell short, and a timeline they felt was too long. Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globes in protest. More than 100 PR firms threatened to boycott the HFPA, and Netflix, Amazon, WarnerMedia and Neon cut ties with the organization. NBC still isn’t airing the awards but left the door open for them to return in 2023 if the HFPA could demonstrate “meaningful reform.”</p>

<p><strong>Oh, right, there’s also an award ceremony! What should I watch for?</strong></p>

<p>On the film side, “Belfast” and “The Power of the Dog” dominated the nominations with seven each, with Campion, the latter’s director, favored to win her first Golden Globe. “King Richard,” “Don’t Look Up,” “Licorice Pizza” and “West Side Story” followed with four apiece. On the TV side, “Succession” received five nominations, followed by four for “Ted Lasso.” There’s a large crop of first-time nominees among the performers, including Ariana DeBose (“West Side Story”) and Stewart (“Spencer”) in film, and Jeremy Strong (“Succession”), Jean Smart (“Hacks”), Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”), and Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany (“WandaVision”) on TV.</p>

<p>The field is more diverse than in years past, when artists of color were often overlooked: The best actor in a drama category features three Black contenders, Smith (“King Richard”), Denzel Washington (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”) and Mahershala Ali (“Swan Song”).</p>

<p><strong>Wait, but can I even</strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>watch</em> the Golden Globes?</strong></p>

<p>No. A representative for the HFPA said the ceremony would be private and would not be livestreamed. Instead, real-time updates will be provided on the Golden Globes website and on social media.</p>

Golden Globes 2022 Nomination predictions: A look at the frontrunners

<p>The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the annual Golden Globes, said on Friday it will present the awards for television and film in January despite the NBC television network deciding in May to no longer air the show.<br />
<br />
The association has drawn criticism over ethics issues and a lack of racial diversity in its membership, prompting NBC to drop televising the Golden Globes that the group hosts.

The Golden Globes ceremony, attended by A-list stars and industry executives, established itself as one of the biggest annual Hollywood awards shows in the run-up to the Oscars.

Golden Globes still on, despite NBC dropping the awards show

<p>While the Golden Globes this year will miss the typical awards ceremony, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association plans on moving forward with honouring the movie season. In a statement, the HFPA said, “The HFPA plans to recognise the performances of 2021 to celebrate the great work of the industry this past year at the 79th Annual Golden Globes.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The statement does not divulge any other information. However, we do know that the organisation’s 21 new members will participate in voting on this year’s honorees. It’s not yet clear whether the typical Golden Globe statuettes will be handed out, but the news comes following a letter sent to studios on October 8 with guidance on eligibility requirements.</p>

<p>For those wondering what has transpired for this decision by HFPA, there had been a large debate around the organisation and its ethos after an LA Times expose revealed that the HFPA counter not a single Black person among its members. After this, several celebrities spoke out against HFPA.

Golden Globes group adds new members as it works to diversify

<p>In a major move, two members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association left the group calling it a “toxic place for working journalists”.

<p>“The HFPA continues to accommodate a toxic environment that undermines professional journalism. The bullying of members by fellow members is left unquestioned and unpunished. The badgering of talent and publicists: ditto,” the pair wrote in the letter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They describe the culture of the HFPA as one of “insulation, silence, fear of retribution, self dealing, corruption and verbal abuse.” “We believe in a welcoming, healthy, respectful place where working international journalists in Los Angeles can develop and thrive. That place is not the HFPA. After we leave we plan to build a transparent, professional and inclusive organization for the current and next generations of reporters who simply want to work together, without the toxicity,” they wrote.</p>

<p>The HFPA came under fire this year following a series of reports that criticised them for not having a single Black member on board. Soon after, many celebs urged for the HFPA to change its ways.

Two Hollywood Foreign Press Association members quit, calling Golden Globes Organisation 'a toxic place'

<p>After NBC decided to not air the Golden Globes 2022, the HFPA under criticism, has given a statement. They issued a statement suggesting it will proceed with efforts to reform itself throughout the coming year, even including a timeline with bullet points of specific agenda items and goals.</p>

<p>Golden Globes came under attack after it was revealed that HFPA, the organisation that is behind the awards, counted zero Black journalists among its 87 members, among other demographic and ethics concerns. Time’s Up quickly launched a pressure campaign, which was amplified by numerous Hollywood A-listers via social media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The HFPA acknowledged that it needed to change in a written statement:&nbsp;</p>

After NBC decided to not air the Golden Globes 2022, the HFPA under criticism, has given a statement. They issued a statement suggesting it will proceed with efforts to reform itself throughout the coming year, even including a timeline with bullet points of specific agenda items and goals. Golden Globes came under attack after it was revealed that HFPA, the organisation that is behind the awards, counted zero Black journalists among its 87 members, among other demographic and ethics concerns. Time’s Up quickly launched a pressure campaign, which was amplified by numerous Hollywood A-listers via social media. The HFPA acknowledged that it needed to change in a written statement: Regardless of the next air date of the Golden Globes, implementing transformational changes as quickly — and as thoughtfully — as possible remains the top priority for our organization. We invite our partners in the industry to the table to work with us on the systemic reform that is long overdue, both in our organization as well as within the industry at large.

HFPA responds to NBC dropping 2022 Golden Globes

<p>HFPA has pledged to mend its ways after severe criticism over lack of diversity during this year's Golden Globe awards.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Following the recent outcry, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the Golden Globes, announced that it has unanimously agreed to increase its membership to at least 100 members this year, with a requirement that "at least 13 percent of the membership be Black journalists,"</p>

<p>According to EW, the HFPA's current membership stands at 87 Los Angeles-based journalists writing for overseas outlets. None of them are black.</p>

<p>"We should have done more, and sooner," the HFPA wrote in a statement.</p>

<p>The announcement comes&nbsp;hours after more than 100 Hollywood public relations agencies sent the association a signed letter advising them that they would be instructing their clients not to work with the HFPA until changes were made.<br />

<p>In that letter, later posted on Twitter by ID PR, the firms demanded that the HFPA "swiftly manifest profound and lasting change to eradicate the longstanding exclusionary ethos and pervasive practice of discriminatory behavior, unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety, and alleged financial corruption."</p>

<p>The letter further promised that until this "profound and lasting" change occurred, none of their clients would participate in HFPA events and interviews.</p>

<p>The HFPA has been under fire since The Los Angeles Times ran an exposé on the association's lack of diversity, a week before Golden Globes.</p>

<p>In its earlier statement, the HFPA stated: "We understand the importance of building a more inclusive organization and becoming more transparent in our operations, and these hires are an important first step.

Golden Globes 2021 hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler address the 'elephant in the room', call award show 'flashy garbage' Three senior HFPA officials took to the Globes stage early in the night, pledging "a more inclusive future," after several influential showbiz groups had piled on criticism over the weekend including Hollywood's actors and directors unions. Presenter Sterling K Brown quipped: "It is great to be black, um back, at the Golden Globes." Later, surpassing Venessa Kirby and Carey Mulligan, a shocked Andra Day took home the Golden Globe for best actress in a drama film for her portrayal of singing legend Billie Holiday in "The United States vs Billie Holiday."

Nicole Kidman makes a rare appearance with daughters and husband for Golden Globes 2021

<p>Hollywood’s awards season kicked off with the <strong>Golden Globes 2021</strong> albeit a little dulled down amid the coronavirus pandemic as the first awards of the year were held virtually with most celebrities tuning in from their homes. While the awards were celebrated with an outpour of love and support by fans and fellow celebrities for the winners of the Golden Globes awards, however, many have slammed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for the lack of diversity in people who are a part of the voting members. There are zero Black voters among the HFPA members for this award and the Hollywood stars are not taking this lightly.</p>

<p>Currently, there are 87 journalists who vote for the Golden Globes and not one of them is Black. The organization already released a statement and said that they are committed to bringing in Black members and members from other underrepresented backgrounds.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/Golden-Globes-2021-Technical-glitches-golden-globes-2021-chadwick-boseman-chloe-zhao-nomadland-the-crown-technical-glitches-diversity-problem-and-hasty-solutions-367013">Golden Globes 2021: Technical glitches, diversity problem and 'hasty' solution</a></p>

<p>Sterling K Brown who was a presenter at this year’s Golden Globes award shared a lengthy statement: “To be nominated for a Golden Globe is a tremendous honor. To win one is a dream come true. It can affect the trajectory of an individual’s career…it certainly has with mine,” Sterling said. “I’m presenting at the telecast this weekend to honor all the story tellers, especially those of color, who have achieved this extraordinary moment in their careers…AND I have my criticisms of the #HFPA.”</p>

<p>He continued, “87 people wield a tremendous amount of power. For any governing body of a current Hollywood award show to have such a lack of voting representation illustrates a level of irresponsibility that should not be ignored. With the power you have HFPA, you simultaneously hold a responsibility to ensure your constituency is fully reflective of the world in which we live. When you know better, you must do better. And having a multitude of Black presenters does not absolve you of your lack of diversity. This is your moment to do the right thing. It is my hope that you will.”</p>

<p>Jennifer Aniston shared an Instagram story stating not a single Black member out of 87.</p>

For any governing body of a current Hollywood award show to have such a lack of voting representation illustrates a level of irresponsibility that should not be ignored. With the power you have HFPA, you simultaneously hold a responsibility to ensure your constituency is fully reflective of the world in which we live. When you know better, you must do better. And having a multitude of Black presenters does not absolve you of your lack of diversity. This is your moment to do the right thing. It is my hope that you will.” Jennifer Aniston shared an Instagram story stating not a single Black member out of 87. Ava DuVernay wrote: "Old news. New energy." Old news.

Golden Globes 2021: Celebs slam Hollywood Foreign Press Association for having zero Black voters

<p>Actor Daniel Kaluuya was the first winner of the Golden Globes 2021 and this was bound to happen in the year of the pandemic. The actor was on mute while he accepted the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in ‘Judas And the Black Messiah’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As soon as his video was shared on the internet, netizens couldn’t contain their excitement at how relatable Golden Globes is for us all. At a time when most of us depend on Zoom calls for interviews, meetings or anything personal/work-related, Daniel Kaluuya going mute during his Golden Globes 2021 speech was epic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Daniel was heard saying, &nbsp;"Is this on? Can you hear me now?" as he unmuted himself to which one user wrote, “The first Globes winner is on mute - thank you Daniel Kaluuya ('cause we've all been there) and congrats!!”</p>

<p>Another user wrote, “Daniel Kaluuya being on mute to accept his #GoldenGlobe is truly the most 2021 thing.”</p>

Daniel Kaluuya was on mute amid Golden Globes winning speech and netizens call it relatable

<p>A few days after Los Angeles Times expose on&nbsp;Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organisation behind the Golden Globe Awards, many celebrities who are a part of Hollywood's Time's Up&nbsp;are calling out the functioning of the ceremony.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Recently, Hollywood Foreign Press Association vowed to include more "Black members" into their organization. In a social media post on Friday, Time's Up wrote, "A cosmetic fix isn’t enough. #TIMESUPGlobes #TIMESUP."<br />

<p>Time's Up's actions come after an investigation that brought awareness to the fact that the HFPA's 87-member group of international journalists currently has no Black members.<br />
<br />
When nominations were announced, the HFPA was criticised for not including any Black-led movies, like 'One Night in Miami', 'Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom', 'Da 5 Bloods'&nbsp;or 'Judas and the Black Messiah', in the Best Picture category. Ahead of the 2021 Golden Globes on Sunday, the HFPA released a statement to the press on Friday.<br />

Not a single Black member out of 87," the post read, which included a cracked Golden Globe trophy. Golden Globe 2021: Five things to watch for at this year's award ceremony Time's Up's actions come after an investigation that brought awareness to the fact that the HFPA's 87-member group of international journalists currently has no Black members. When nominations were announced, the HFPA was criticised for not including any Black-led movies, like 'One Night in Miami', 'Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom', 'Da 5 Bloods' or 'Judas and the Black Messiah', in the Best Picture category. Ahead of the 2021 Golden Globes on Sunday, the HFPA released a statement to the press on Friday.
