Golden Globes boycotted by stars for lack of diversity

Not only will there be no retransmission, but there will be no stars to present the awards at the Golden Globes this year.

Blame it on a lack of diversity, denounced by the Hollywood gratin, who therefore decided not to accept to hand over a statuette at the annual event, organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

NBC, which usually airs the evening, had previously announced that it would not be performing live on the channel, but this time around, it is the Golden Globes themselves that are under threat.

It's hard to imagine a ceremony without the slightest star.

“The Golden Globes will be hosting a small event on January 9 that not only recognizes the best performances in television and cinema for the year 2021, but also recognizes the importance of supporting diverse creatives in the industry.

This year's event will celebrate and honor diverse community programs that empower inclusive filmmakers and journalists to pursue their passions as storytellers.

The HFPA has financially supported large, underserved organizations for decades and will continue to invest in future leaders in our industry, ”an HFPA spokesperson said in a statement relayed by

"The event will have a limited number of guests and will be governed by strict Covid protocols which include not only proof of a complete vaccination, but also a vaccination booster and a negative PCR test", simply specified the HFPA.

and Omar Sy as Best Dramatic Actor in the categories reserved for series.

The association's president, Helen Hoene, promised that at the end of the 2022 edition of the Golden Globes, all members will come together to ensure that they continue their efforts to move towards more diversity.

21 new members have already been added to the HFPA to achieve this goal and the statutes have changed to encourage the Hollywood institution to open.
