US television network NBC on Monday dropped its broadcast of the Golden Globes ceremony in 2022 after a Hollywood backlash over the ethics of the group that hands out the annual awards for film and television and its lack of diversity. Tom Cruise joined a revolt led by streaming platforms and studios, returning the three Golden Globe statuettes he won for his roles in Jerry Maguire, Magnolia and Born on the Fourth of July, Variety and Deadline Hollywood reported.
The dominoes continue to fall for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
In protest of the ongoing controversy surrounding the lack of diversity within the HFPA s membership, Tom Cruise has returned the three Golden Globe trophies he earned for
Born On The Fourth Of July (best actor, drama),
Jerry Maguire (best actor, comedy or musical), and
Magnolia (best supporting actor),
Variety has confirmed.
It is the most high profile repudiation yet of the HFPA from a single star, after several actors – including Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo – called for the industry to step back from the Globes until more substantial reforms are put in place within the HFPA organisation. Netflix, Amazon, and WarnerMedia have all announced boycotts of the HFPA, and NBCUniversal announced on Monday that NBC would not air the Globes in 2022.
