Why do you keep chopping off your blog after three sentences? I get that you’re not a hit and run poster, but seriously, your blog is completely sourced from outside, so there is no reason at all to truncate it and force folks to go off of FR to read it. Just my opinion, my FRiend.
Here, at least post the reply. No cliff hangers, is my policy. And blogs don’t own the words of other folks.

And, Ricky Gervais has the perfect response to all of this.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) runs the Golden Globes. An LA Times report accuses the HFPA of having a lack of diversity and an abundance of corruption. For instance, there isn’t a single Black HFPA member.
So the Golden Globes are no longer going to be televised by NBC….
Who knew that depressing people at your own awards show even more than the depressing product you put out would hurt ratings…

Correction:
Of course, Gervais took notice of all of this. He responded with the perfect three-word tweet that slammed all the wokeness.
It was suggested that instead of The Golden Globes, Gervais should host a Hollywood Roast. The comedian replied it could be called The Golden Balls.
The Golden Balls. https://t.co/xqi18uu7bA

It means Hollywood are torching their own cultural capital, thus erasing themselves.
It can’t be brought back without a huge admission that Hollywood has become insane. So Golden Globes is gone forever.
Overall, its a good thing.

Finally, something on TV that I would watch!
The real reason they “cancelled” the awards is the embarrassment factor.
Nobody cares about these fake shows with a parade of phonies and a political agenda, and the fact that the other show-biz award shows have had the most dismal viewership since forever (although it had been dropping all along) is motivating Hollywood and Broadway to pretend that they’re dropping out because they’re too pure and they’re above it...while the real reason is that they can’t face the humiliation of having no viewers and possibly even having the nets drop the shows.
They may be Golden Globes today, but eventually will become SAG awards
NBC got out of the Golden Globes because it going to be a money loser.
