The Golden Globes Returning to NBC in 2023 Still Under a Cloud

So after a year off the air, the golden globes will reportedly be returning to NBC next January and we need to talk about it. You may remember the organization behind the Golden Globes. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association came under fire as a series of articles revealed ethics concerns and a shocking lack of diversity among its 87 members. There was Not a single black member of the organization along with its supposed nonprofit status while allowing members to receive gifts and large sums of money that led to heightened security. These accusations prompted hundreds of publicists and celebrities to boycott the golden globes and NBC decided not to air the awards show in 2022, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made a series of changes in response banning members from accepting those gifts and adding 21 members, six of whom were black. H. F. D. A has reached out to publicists about the changes hoping to attract Hollywood's elite back to the typically star studded ceremony, according to the Hollywood reporter, The Golden Globes will air Tuesday january 10th. Now, Hannah, we talked about this extensively in March of last year when this all went down and initially the target goal was 13 black members, only six have been added of those 21 new members. So I think you know where I stand when it comes to the numbers, it really seems like much more needs to be done. But NBC potentially still holding this award show in 2023. Although some sources say according to the Hollywood reporter, this was a prima. Okay, that's good to know, I do appreciate the transparency, but you're right. I think they have a long way to go by the way that date of january 10th. This is very strategic because the globes, as you know, AsIA have taken place on Sundays. But the first sunday in january is New Year's Day. The 2nd january eighth NFL regular season for sunday night Football. And then January 15 is a critics choice awards. So they're doing everything they possibly can to make sure they get viewers. The question is whether we tune in or not. I do wonder if publicist and celebrities will continue to boycott this, especially to your point. The numbers haven't exactly changed. Yes, they've improved, but not overwhelmingly. Yeah, definitely. And I also want to mention the fact that the origin story of the H. F. P A is all about journalists who wanted diversity and inclusion, which adds even more fuel to this fire for them to get it right. So we'll continue to watch to definitely see how this turns out. Come january
