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.
Antonio Ferme editorAfter a slew of controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lack of diversity, NBC announced on Monday that it will not air the Golden Globes in 2022.“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.
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.
Add Amazon Studios to the growing list of organizations that have stated they will not work with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association until it significantly revamps its diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Johansson’s statement continues the dam breaking against HFPA, a movement that began at mid-week when Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos spoke out and said the studio would not participate in HFPA events until it revamped its organizational goals.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was recently called out over its diversity issue after it was revealed that the association lacked a single Black member. While a host of A-lister celebrities, as well as studios, called out HFPA to undergo major reforms, the association earlier this week did announce some changes but they are being deemed much less than what is expected of them.
The HFPA is continuing to be called out after they revealed their plan for incorporating more diversity into the company.
The backlash against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is showing no sign of ebbing. Mark Ruffalo, who won a Golden Globe Award this year, called out the international journalists group today for “[resisting] the change that is being asked of them from many of the groups that have been most disenfranchised by their culture of secrecy and exclusion.”
