Apparently, in 2023 the award ceremony “Golden Globe“(Golden Globe Award) will not take place. The reason was the scandal around the organizer represented by By the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
HFPA executives come under fire after newspaper article Los Angeles Times… Journalists accused the organization of using dubious financial practices (we are talking about bribery in the form of gifts) and a lack of “diversity” (diversity).
The Association reacted to the situation rather quickly, promising to carry out the necessary reforms in the near future. However, in modern Hollywood, this is not enough, as there was no roadmap for changes with a clear timetable.
As a result, about the boycott “Golden Globe 2023“announced Netflix, Amazon, WarnerMedia, members of the anti-sexual harassment movement Time’s up, LGBT organization GLAAD, over 100 PR agencies and so on.
Hollywood actors also did not stand aside. Actor Mark Ruffalo admitted he was ashamed of his victory at the beginning of the year, and also called on the HFPA not to resist reforms. Actress Scarlett Johansson called for a boycott of the Golden Globe, adding that it has long avoided Association press conferences because of sexist issues.
The most radical actor Tom Cruisewho gave up his three Golden Globes.
Given the above, it is unlikely that the 2023 Golden Globes will take place. The event is scheduled for early 2023, but the voting process takes place in 2023, while the boycott complicates the process.
The final nail in the cover of the Association was hammered by NBC, which refused to broadcast the ceremony. And this is where the fun begins.
You see, recently the Golden Globe has been setting anti-viewing records on an annual basis. And in 2023, the ceremony turned out to be a major disaster in terms of financial and rating indicators. The most memorable moment is the performance in 2023 of the host of the show. Ricky Gervais, who publicly accused producers and Hollywood stars of hypocrisy and HFPA of discrimination.
In 2018, NBC renewed its contract with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, paying approximately $ 60 million for the broadcast rights. This is about three times what the previous contract was worth, but the colossal funds are not repulsed, despite unsuccessful attempts to change the format of the show. The ceremonies faced similar problems “Oscar“(Oscar) and “Grammy“(Grammy).
As transfers Variety, the scandal around the HFPA could become the basis for a revision or even termination of the contract, which will only play into the hands of NBC. Other film and music organizations were also threatened, which could also be blamed for sexism and lack of “diversity.” Remember the Oscar, which was watched by only 10 million people in the US this year.
