Tom Cruise returned his Golden Globes
Cruise has reportedly returned his three Golden Globe trophies to the HFPA, which has been slammed for a lack of diversity as well as for ethical failings.
The 58-year-old actor won Globes for Best Actor for Jerry Maguire, Best Actor for Born on the Fourth of July, and Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia.
Those performances also garnered Oscar nominations for the Mission Impossible star.
The HFPA is a non-profit organization filled with journalists and photographers who report on the entertainment industry.
Ricky Gervais as host
In a savage mauling, the British comedian took aim at just about everyone there — calling out the hypocrisy of the rich and famous as well as branding the HFPA “very, very racist” and mocking their friendship with convicted dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The faces of the A-listers in the room told it all, with Piers Morgan branding the brutal take-down “a glorious kick in the globes to Hollywood’s woke, virtue-signaling hypocrites”.
‘Edgy’
Traditionally the Golden Globes has been known as the edgier, boozy little brother of the more prestigious Academy Awards.
In 2011 Robert Downey Jr joked he did not “know if an actress can do her best work until I’ve slept with her”.
And Avengers star Jeremy Renner, 50, joked about Jennifer Lopez’s impressive ‘globes’ on stage in 2015.
Why the Golden Globes 2022 are not on TV, continued
The full results from Sunday’s trimmed-down Globes will be released in a press release following the approximately 90-minute event.
Deadline also reported that the decision not to broadcast an online version of the Globes has nothing to do with the HFPA’s multimillion-dollar, multi-year deal with NBC.
According to a source at the Comcast-owned network, NBC is not blocking the HFPA’s livestream.
NBC decided to pull the plug on the show due to lack of diversity by the HFPA.
HFPA president Helen Hoehne told : “Change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”

‘Not even a ceremony’
Ricky Gervais, 60, who hosted five of the awards in ten years, says he thinks it could even be the last time we see the event.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: “They’re trying to get through this and start again. I don’t think anyone’s even been invited. It’s not even a ceremony.
“You can’t predict anything in this world. They could come back stronger than ever and be loved again or it could be the last one.
“You never know. I don’t take any-thing for granted any more. I just keep plodding on. And whatever happens, happens.”
Ratings drop

Oscars v Golden Globes
One significant distinction between the two award shows is that the Golden Globes also honor television, while the Oscars honor exclusively film.
The Golden Globe winners are chosen by a small group of 93 members of the HFPA, but the Oscar winners are chosen by roughly 60,000 industry professionals who are members of the AMPAS.
The Globes are also a bigger event than the Oscars, with food and beverages offered, whereas the Oscars typically only feature the awards ceremony with the remainder of the celebration taking place in the after-party.
Finally, in comparison to the Oscars, the Golden Globes have more categories.
What are the Golden Globes?
The Golden Globe Award is an accolade bestowed to a winner by 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which celebrates excellence in cinema and television in the United States and abroad.
The yearly ceremony and dinner, where the winners are revealed, are a big element of the awards.
In January 1944, the first Golden Globe Awards were presented, honoring the finest in cinema and television, including cast and crew.
The Golden Globe Awards now include 25 categories, including 14 for feature movies and 11 for television.
Who is nominated?
All the nominations for Golden Globes 2022 were announced on December 13, 2021.
There are over 25 categories.
Categories include Best Picture Drama, Best Actress, Best Actor, and more.
A full list of nominees can be found here.
Rules for guests
The smattering of guests who will be at the Beverly Hilton Hotel are under strict orders to wear masks and socially distance at all times.
Proof of vaccination, a negative PCR test and a booster jab is also compulsory for all attendees.
Officially, organizer the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has cited the pandemic and rise in Covid cases across America as the reason behind the low-key celebration.
But in reality, a slow and steady decline in ratings coupled with growing controversy over near-the-knuckle gags and representation has seen the Globes’ appeal wain.
