Jamie Lee Curtis And Arnold Schwarzenegger Were The Only Celebrities Involved With The 2022 Golden Globes Last Night
The 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards were shaping up to be such a sad, unglamorous mess, they might as well have been officially nicknamed the Tinfoil-wrapped Globes. About a week prior to the show, it was rumored that not a single celebrity had agreed to participate in what was very recently one of the most star-studded events on the Hollywood awards show calendar. And as expected, there really weren’t any famous faces involved in the ceremony, except for two. Jamie Lee Curtis showed up in a pre-taped segment for the HFPA’s advocacy work and Arnold Schwarzenegger did a video where he praised the organization for trying to be more diverse. I’d ask what Jamie Lee Curtis is doing involved with such a shit show, but then I remembered her work with Activia yogurt, so navigating a shit-show is kind of in her wheelhouse.
No Celebrities Have Agreed To Appear At The 2022 Golden Globe Awards
Well, it’s almost as though people will eventually realize that a corrupt, sexist, diversity-snubbing awards show isn’t where they want their faces seen, and they’ll stop answering the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s phone calls. At least that’s what appears to have happened with the 2022 Golden Globes, which are scheduled to happen on January 9th. And oh what a night it shall be! It’s not airing on television, and no famous people are involved.
Here Are The Nominees For The (Untelevised) 2022 Golden Globes
Just because you’re broke and ugly, that doesn’t mean you have cornered the market on suffering. If you prick a celebrity, do they not bleed? Well they do — profusely, dramatically and off-key. Sure, the last couple of years may have been hard on everyone, but it’s been particularly hard on actors who’ve had their very livelihoods upturned by the ravages the coronavirus has taken on the global box office as well having to have witnessed the downfall of one of their most beloved institutions of affirmation, The Golden Globes. But even though NBC decided not to air the 2022 ceremony due to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s “lack of diversity and shoddy ethical practices,” Variety reports that the “beleaguered and scandal-plagued” HFPA has gone ahead and enlisted Snoop Dogg to read aloud their nominees, I guess because he was the only Black celebrity they could get on such short notice. Because as we know, Scarlett Johansson’s sick of being their token and wants nothing more to do with them.
The Golden Globes Will Still Give Out Awards This Year Despite NBC Not Airing Them
Looks like Emily In Paris really did to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association what The Weeknd wished he did to the Grammys. JK, it wasn’t all that unilingual semi-fashionable brat’s fault but she did draw a lot of attention. This year the Golden Globes, which are given by the members of the HFPA, were exposed by the LA Times who revealed that there was not one single Black person in their organization as well as “ethical lapses” in the HFPA including accusations of self-dealing. *Cough* Emily In Paris *COUGH!* The HFPA apologized and promised to do better but the pile-on had begun. PR firms told their A-list clients to ignore the Golden Globes until they make big changes. Then NBC canceled the 2022 broadcast and Tom Cruise caught some free attention by returning three of his own Golden Globes. Well, just because no one cares about them anymore doesn’t mean the HFPA won’t go through with a party, Deadline says that even though it won’t be on TV the Golden Globes still plan to give out awards.
Tom Cruise Has Given Back His Three Golden Globe Awards In Protest Of The HFPA
Tom Cruise hasn’t had much luck with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences; he’s a three-time Oscar nominee and zero-time winner. But, Tom has done much better with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He’s a seven-time Golden Globe Award nominee and three-time winner. And before today, you could probably assume those three Golden Globe Awards held a very special place on his trophy shelf. It’s pretty clear the HFPA loves Tom Cruise. They nominated him for The Last Samurai, what more proof do you need? But right now, the love isn’t mutual. Tom Cruise has joined Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Netflix, NBC, and many Hollywood publicists, by publicly dragging the HFPA and their ability to do the absolute least when it comes to diversity. Although he did it without saying a word. Tom simply returned his awards.
Scarlett Johansson Says It’s Time To “Step Back” From The Golden Globes (UPDATE: NBC Has Shit-Canned The 2022 Ceremony)
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization behind the Golden Globes, has been getting absolutely shit on recently. Major PR firms are telling their clients to just ignore the HFPA until it makes changes to become more diverse and inclusive, including adding more people of color as members and putting restrictions on gifts and money to members (see: the Emily In Paris mess). Deadline says that Netflix, home to Emily in Paris, has cut ties with the organization altogether and actors like Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo are dragging the HFPA too. Well, ScarJo is a woman of color so she’s looking out for her own!
