Uncertainty looms as the major award shows and their surrounding events are pushed back or canceled due to the Omicron variant.
The scrutiny began days before last year’s Globes after the L.A. Times published an investigation exposing alleged financial corruption and ethical conflicts within the HFPA, a nonprofit. The newspaper questioned the 2021 “Emily in Paris” nominations — the fluffy Netflix show that wasn’t regarded as a serious contender , revealing that Paramount Network had paid for HFPA members to travel to Paris for a lavish trip that included a five-star hotel stay.
Despite the various attempts to address the matter during the telecast, the backlash was swift. The likes of Ava DuVernay and Scarlett Johansson spoke out, demanding HFPA reform. ; Netflix’s Ted Sarandos told the HFPA that the streaming service was “stopping any activities” with the organization until “more meaningful changes are made,” and, remarkably, Tom Cruise reportedly returned his three Globe trophies.
The Globes were always known as the Champagne-flowing, light and fun show that didn’t play by the rules, but sidelined this year in light of the revelations, its future remains unclear.
