The HFPA fell under intense scrutiny in 2021 for alleged improprieties in its voting process and for its startling lack of diversity, including featuring not a single Black voting member. The HFPA is made up of journalists who cover Hollywood and the entertainment industry for outlets primarily outside the United States. In response to these shortcomings, NBC canceled its broadcast of the 2022 ceremony until substantive change could be enacted, aiming for a return in 2023. On October 21, the HFPA added 21 new members to diversify its ranks — while keeping its previous membership intact.
With the Omicron variant canceling events all over the film and TV world, the HFPA opted not to even livestream its event tonight, instead announcing its winners via its website and social media. Intentionally or not — probably not, as it distracted from those actually being honored — oddly composed tweets from the official @goldenglobes handle channeled much of the anarchic energy of a typical Globes broadcast and were the primary source of commentary on Twitter during the rollout.
