[NBCUniversal will not air the 2022 Golden Globes
after warning the ceremony's awarding body
the Hollywood Foreign Press Assortation
needs to 'reform'
The HFPA - secretive body is comprised of
87 journalists - is accused of underrepresenting
and mistreating black and LGBTQ artists
Tom Cruise protested the group by returning
all three of his Golden Globes
NBCU said HFPA 'needs time' to ensure
meaningful reform is done 'right'
The network's new president Susan Rovner also
admitted ratings were a concern
Viewing figures slumped from 18.3 million
in 2020 to just 6.9 million in 2021
COVID-19 closed cinemas; other fans
have condemned preaching by celebrities
A NBCU spokesman said they hope to
air the show again in January 2023
One former HFPA's president was booted
for emailing an article to his fellow members
that described Black Lives Matter as
a 'racist hate movement'
HFPA hasn't commented on NBC's decision]

[We are hopeful we will be in a position
to air the show in January 2023.]

Oh dear, a Hollywood circlejerk fest isn't being aired ...

These awards are largely meaningless nowadays. Bring back Ricky Gervais to roast the wankers, or don't bother.
