NBC announces it won’t be broadcasting next year’s Golden Globes over diversity backlash

The network says that it will be open to broadcasting the ceremony again in 2023 if appropriate measures are introduced.

In a statement, NBC said the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) needs time to undergo meaningful changes and enact reform.

“NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. We are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”

This comes as the Press Association reaffirmed its “commitment to bringing Black and racially diverse members into the organisation and bringing aboard a new chief diversity officer.”

NBC aren’t the only ones concerned about The Golden Globe’s diversity issues

Last week, Netflix and Amazon Studios both said they would cut ties with the HFPA if it didn’t swiftly enact more drastic reforms.

“We don’t believe these proposed new policies will tackle the HFPA’s systemic diversity and inclusion challenges, or the lack of clear standards for how your members should operate”

Lack of diversity in Hollywood

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has 87 voting members. According to Tampabay, none of them are black. The company is also facing possible boycotts from Netflix, Warner Bros.

This comes after an investigative report in February by The Los Angeles Times that recounted the organization’s questionable record on diversity.

The press association has pledged to thoroughly reform, and last week approved a plan to, among other things, diversity its membership.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
