Will the Golden Globes 2022 Air on TV — and Will Anyone Attend? Everything We Know

A messy situation. The 79th annual Golden Globes are set for Sunday, January 9, but it's still unknown what exactly that will look like. “This has been a year of change and reflection for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” Hollywood Foreign Press President Helen Hoehne said ahead of the nominations in December. “For eight months, we’ve worked tirelessly as an organization to be better. We changed our rules and bylaws, added a new code of conduct, and restructured our governance. We also have 21 new members, the largest and most diverse in our 79-year-old history. Not only have they brought in a fresh perspective, but ideas that will help us continue to evolve.” The organization has been in hot water all year following a bombshell investigation in the Los Angeles Times published in February, which detailed alleged misconduct and diversity issues, causing many celebrities and industry members to speak out. It was also revealed that the group previously didn’t have one single Black member. [jwplayer YyKEMF68-zhNYySv2] Since April, there have been many changes happening at the HFPA, including a restructuring behind the scenes and the hiring of a chief diversity officer. Still, it's unknown if the changes will have much — if any — impact on the show. “Because we understand the urgency and issue of transparency, we will be continuously updating the members and the public as we move forward in making our organization more inclusive and diverse,” the HFPA said in a statement in May. “We understand that the hard work starts now and we remain dedicated to becoming a better organization and an example of diversity, transparency, and accountability in the industry.” Industry members, meanwhile, can't help but wonder if the damage has already been done. When the nominations were announced by Hoehne and Snoop Dogg — a choice that no one quite understood — only 10,000 viewers tuned in to the announcement streamed on the Globes' YouTube account, and, according to Variety, the ballroom where the event took place was also noticeably empty. "Due to COVID restrictions, we always said we would stream and actually a lot of people, I think, tuned in via streaming, which I think is normal,” Hoehne told Variety of the low attendance on December 13. "This is a special year as well. Unfortunately, we’re still working through COVID and the new variants so we have to all be careful. So, I’m actually very surprised that as many people have showed up today in person. Scroll down for everything to know about the 2022 Golden Globe Awards: [podcast_block]

Will It Be on TV?

NBC pulled out of the Globes in May, explaining in a statement, "We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. 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."

How Do Celebs Feel?

Scarlett Johansson, Tom Cruise and more stars spoke out about the HFPA following the Los Angeles' Times expose, with the Black Widow actress claiming she faced "sexist questions and remarks" from HFPA members which "bordered on sexual harassment," noting that she was refusing to participate in the show.

"The HFPA is an organization that was legitimized by the likes of Harvey Weinstein to amass momentum for Academy recognition and the industry followed suit," she told Entertainment Weekly in May. "Unless there is necessary fundamental reform within the organization, I believe it is time that we take a step back from the HFPA and focus on the importance and strength of unity within our unions and the industry as a whole."
