What do the Golden Globes do after a year of scandals so severe that NBC dropped the broadcast?
They tweet through it.
On Sunday night, members of the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the winners of this year’s Golden Globes, but they read those names to a ballroom at the Beverly Hilton devoid of stars, then posted the results to Twitter in real-time. Those tweets — strewn with emojis and bad puns and often lacking key information about what movie anybody was winning for — came in for even more ridicule on social media.
It’s a stunning downgrade for what used to be one of the glitziest awards shows in Hollywood. But after investigations by The Los Angeles Times and New York Times revealed a series of ethical lapses within the H.F.P.A. and a membership devoid of Black voters, Hollywood’s major publicity firms cut off the show’s access to stars.
That means Sunday’s ceremony lacked an in-person presence from winners like Will Smith (“King Richard”) and Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”), who took the lead-acting drama trophies, or their counterparts in the musical/comedy categories, Andrew Garfield from “Tick, Tick … Boom!”
Since the scandals came to light, the H.F.P.A. has since announced a new slate of rules and admitted 21 new members, including journalists of color. Still, it remains to be seen if Hollywood will even acknowledge Sunday’s ceremony, or whether the stars who won will pretend that nothing happened. If that cold shoulder continues, the Golden Globes may become the first awards show to itself be the victim of a major snub.
The awards show wasn't televised or streamed this year and featured no red carpet or audience. Instead, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) held a "private event" at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and revealed winners on social media and via press release.
