There will be no Golden Globes in 2022 on NBC, as the besieged HFPA continues to falter in reforming itself to the satisfaction of Hollywood studios and stakeholders.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” said the Comcast-owned network this morning. “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.”

Even back in the day when a large number of people cared about award shows, very few people cared about the Golden Globes.
It's basically a Schlitz beer tap that doesn't give you any beer.

They are probably still cleaning the chairs after the multitude of pedophiles in the audience crapped in their pants during his monologue.

The oscars taught them that with no “orange man bad” jokes they have nothing to say.
When you climb the victim totem pyramid and look around, NO ONE IS LEFT to receive the “award.”

OH DEAR!
Exactly WHAT will Nbc be airing instead?
Three hours of liberal/fascist propaganda, global
warming alerts, repeats of Nora O’Donell’s best on-air
moments?

This is one of the most absurd, artificial controversies yet. The HFPA was founded in the 1940's as an association of foreign journalists covering the U.S. film industry. The membership qualifications were that members had to (1) work for a foreign publication, (2) cover the Hollywood beat, and (3) live in southern California so that they could come to meetings. It's always been small. I imagine it's still a rather clubby, ingrown group. It may be rotten to the core in 101 Hollywoodish ways. But it's not racially discriminatory. It has had black members in the past. If there aren't any now, it's because none have applied to join. This does not especially surprise me. Its membership will reflect the foreign publications that find it worth their while to maintain a Hollywood bureau. I would imagine that these are mostly publications in countries with large and sophisticated film industries of their own, with both a professional film community and a large, knowledgable viewership base eager to follow the industry globally. If Africa has not yet developed a robust indigenous film industry, that is not the HFPA's fault. If there are no major publications with international bureaus covering the film industry in Lagos, Kinshasa, Nairobi, or Addis Ababa, that is not the HFPA's fault.
There is no particular reason why a German, Italian, Indian, Japanese or Korean publication should be expected to hire a black reporter to cover Hollywood, just so the HFPA can meet an arbitrary quota. I know, I know; the reigning idiots believe if something moves, it becomes white man's burden to piggyback a black quota across the finish line. The world is to be reengineered as a sheltered workshop for black people. Enough.

I suspect they didn’t want to get beaten in the ratings be an old Speed Racer cartoon.

It’s an easy excuse to ignore the horrible ratings as a cause.
