New Delhi: Following months of controversy, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has announced the nominees for the 79th annual Golden Globe Awards on Monday.
According to Variety, Netflix’s ‘Power of the Dog’ and Focus Features’ ‘Belfast’ have landed a leading seven nominations. HBO’s ‘Succession’, a dynastic drama about a cutthroat media mogul and his family, topped all television shows with five nominations. In the past, the honours would have been greeted with a stream of statements from filmmakers and stars expressing shock and delight about being recognized by the group.
However, the HFPA is mired in a controversy over its lack of diversity and shoddy ethical practices that led NBC to cancel the telecast in 2022 and had top studios and stars pledging not to work with the group until it instituted reforms.
Earlier this year, the HFPA had come under fire for not having any Black members in its roughly 100-person organization, accepting expensive gifts to sway their votes and other unethical behaviour. Since then, the HFPA has diversified its ranks, revamped its bylaws, banned gifts, restricted paid travel and started undergoing significant foundational change.
In a letter obtained by Variety last week, HFPA President Helen Hoehne revealed that the 2022 ceremony will be focused on the HFPA’s philanthropic efforts, and she invited celebrities to participate in announcing the nominations, like typical years.
However, the 2022 Golden Globes will look different than usual years as a cloud still hangs over the HFPA. Hoehne revealed the nominations during a live stream that also featured Snoop Dogg reading out the group’s selections for the best in television and film. In her remarks, Hoehne called 2021 “a year of change and reflection” for the group.
