This is hilarious.
The Golden Globes awards won’t even be livestreamed this year.
No one will see the pared down awards show online and no one will be able to watch it on tv.
Last year NBC announced it will not broadcast the 2022 Golden Globes award show after backlash over lack of diversity in the ranks.

NBC pays an annual fee of $60 million for the right to air the Golden Globes, but they decided to shutter the 2022 Globes.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has come under fire over the last couple of years for having zero black people in its organization.
Out of 87 members, not a single one is black.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” an NBC rep 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. 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.”
Deadline reported:
The controversy-plagued Golden Globes looks set to return this weekend, but no one will see it online or otherwise.
“This year’s event is going to be a private event and will not be livestreamed,” an HFPA spokesperson told Deadline on Thursday. “We will be providing real-time updates on winners on the Golden Globes website and our social media.”
Full results from Sunday’s pared-down Globes will be announced via a press release after the approximately 90-minute ceremony is over, we hear.

I enjoyed Ricky Gervais trashing them to their faces.
Pay back is a *itch! All of this because of their own doing...LOVE IT!
As if anyone considered a sentient being gives a shi...er...Dorkbama.
Not a single “person of color” in their ranks.
But WE’RE the racists.
Has anyone noticed you have a hard time finding a white person in commercials these days?
What ho! They have been hoist by their own petard!
There was a 300+ post thread today here talking about that.
don’t you just love it when the chickens come home to roost?
We’re burglars in the ADP commercial...
The HFPA should hire one token Black to appease them...and make it Dave Chappelle.
Now if the Oscars would only follow suit.
And the Grammys and all other Circle Jerk Award shows.
“Ricky Gervais”
Most epic awards hosting ever. He should do the Oscars.
Does anyone dare to ask how many black people are in the press association outside of the US?My guess is very few - like asking how many white guys are in the National Basketball Association
I think that's because most of the members work for European newspapers with some from Asia. Now maybe if Kenya's Daily Nation sent a movie reviewer to Hollywood...
But all the commercials are 75% black! And about a quarter of them are with Shaq which I am fine with because I like and respect him. He was a great basketball player and a great media personality.
That didn’t stop Tom Hanks from attending.
If you do happen see a white person in a commercial, they’re with a black spouse.
Living in an upper middle class house
With a mixed race child
The key is to not watch TV or commercials.
