Golden Globe Awards 2022 LIVE updates – Private event won’t be live-streamed with nominees as red carpet CANCELED

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama

The nominations are:

• Mahershala Ali, Swan Song
• Javier Barde, Being the Ricardos
• Benedict Cumberbatch, The Power of the Dog
• Will Smith, King Richard
• Denzel Washington, The Tragedy of Macbeth

‘Edgy’

Traditionally the Golden Globes has been known as the edgier, boozy little brother of the more prestigious Academy Awards.

In 2011 Robert Downey Jr joked he did not “know if an actress can do her best work until I’ve slept with her”.

And Avengers star Jeremy Renner, 50, joked about Jennifer Lopez’s impressive ‘globes’ on stage in 2015.

Ratings drop

Last year, viewing figures for the Globes dropped from 18 million to just 6.9 million

The audience was the smallest for the ceremony since US TV giant NBC started broadcasting in 1996 — and little more than half as many as the BBC pulled in for last year’s Strictly final.

Ricky Gervais as host

In a savage mauling, the British comedian took aim at just about everyone there — calling out the hypocrisy of the rich and famous as well as branding the HFPA “very, very racist” and mocking their friendship with convicted dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The faces of the A-listers in the room told it all, with Piers Morgan branding the brutal take-down “a glorious kick in the globes to Hollywood’s woke, virtue-signaling hypocrites”.

Oscars v Golden Globes

One significant distinction between the two award shows is that the Golden Globes also honor television, while the Oscars honor exclusively film. 

The Golden Globe winners are chosen by a small group of 93 members of the HFPA, but the Oscar winners are chosen by roughly 60,000 industry professionals who are members of the AMPAS. 

The Globes are also a bigger event than the Oscars, with food and beverages offered, whereas the Oscars typically only feature the awards ceremony with the remainder of the celebration taking place in the after-party.

Finally, in comparison to the Oscars, the Golden Globes have more categories. 

Tom Cruise returned his Golden Globes

Cruise has reportedly returned his three Golden Globe trophies to the HFPA, which has been slammed for a lack of diversity as well as for ethical failings.

The 58-year-old actor won Globes for Best Actor for Jerry Maguire, Best Actor for Born on the Fourth of July, and Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia.

Those performances also garnered Oscar nominations for the Mission Impossible star.

The HFPA is a non-profit organization filled with journalists and photographers who report on the entertainment industry.

Golden Globe Awards to be a ‘private event’

The Golden Globes took to Twitter on Thursday to reveal the event will not be live-streamed.

The tweet read: “This year’s event is going to be a private event and will not be live-streamed.

“We will be providing real-time updates on winners on the Golden Globes website and our social media.”

Why are the Golden Globes facing a boycott?

A Los Angeles Times exposé from February called into question “the HFPA’s ethics, financial practices, and lack of diversity (the organization had zero Black members at the time),” the Hollywood Reporter revealed.

As a result, many filmmakers, studios, and networks said they wouldn’t work with the organization until it implemented some changes, the outlet noted.

NBC also decided not to air the Globes in 2022.

No red carpet

HFPA president Helen Hoehne said of the Golden Globes this year: “I think we all know that it’s not going to be a celebrity-driven event that it has been in the past — no red carpet and nothing flashy.”

‘The Golden Globes will move forward’

Variety obtained a copy of an email from the Globes talent booker that was sent out to publicity agencies asking about clients participating in the show, but sources say no celebrities have agreed to take part in the event.

“The Golden Globes will move forward with a small event on January 9th that will not only award the best performances in television and film for 2021, but also on recognizing the importance of supporting diverse creatives across the industry,” the letter read.

“The event this year will celebrate and honor a variety of diverse, community-based programs that empower inclusive filmmakers and journalists to pursue their storytelling passions.”

“The HFPA has financially supported important underserved organizations for decades and will continue to invest in the future leaders of our industry.”

‘Not even a ceremony’

Ricky Gervais, 60, who hosted five of the awards in ten years, says he thinks it could even be the last time we see the event.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: “They’re trying to get through this and start again. I don’t think anyone’s even been invited. It’s not even a ceremony.

“You can’t predict anything in this world. They could come back stronger than ever and be loved again or it could be the last one.

“You never know. I don’t take any-thing for granted any more. I just keep plodding on. And whatever happens, happens.”

When are the Golden Globes 2022?

The 79th Golden Globe Awards is on Sunday, January 9, 2022. 

The winners will be announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which consists of about 90 members.

Nominations were announced in December 2021.

HFPA president Helen Hoehne said: “I think we all know that it’s not going to be a celebrity-driven event that it has been in the past — no red carpet and nothing flashy.”

Nominees of Golden Globes 2022, continued

“Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”

Who are the nominees of the Golden Globes 2022?

All the nominations for Golden Globes 2022 were announced on December 13, 2021.

There are over 25 categories.

The nominees for Best Picture Drama are Belfast, CODA, Dune, King Richard, and The Power of the God.

Proof of vaccination

The Golden Globe Awards attendees who will be present include the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their associated philanthropists.

All guests attending will be required to show proof of vaccination, which includes the booster, as well as a negative PCR test within 48 hours of the event.

Who is presenting at the 79th Golden Globe Awards?

In response to the spread of the Omicron variant, the 2022 Golden Globes ceremony will be scaled back and will not have a telecast.

Due to the surge, there will be no presenters, audience, or media outlets permitted at the awards show.

Per Indiewire, there will be no red carpet or celebrity hosts.

Why the Golden Globes 2022 are not on TV, continued

The full results from Sunday’s trimmed-down Globes will be released in a press release following the approximately 90-minute event.

Deadline also reported that the decision not to broadcast an online version of the Globes has nothing to do with the HFPA’s multimillion-dollar, multi-year deal with NBC. 

According to a source at the Comcast-owned network, NBC is not blocking the HFPA’s livestream.

NBC decided to pull the plug on the show due to lack of diversity by the HFPA.

HFPA president Helen Hoehne told The Hollywood Reporter: “Change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”
