The 80th annual Golden Globe Awards was back on stylish form on Tuesday evening, following the show’s one year break from screens amid controversy for lack of diversity and ethical lapses.

The ceremony was held once again at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills following a one year break from screens amid controversy over ethical lapses and a lack of diversity.  

The embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which puts on the Globes – is seeking a primetime comeback.

The show was hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael, aired on NBC and Peacock, and was presented by the Hollywood Press Association and Dick Clark productions. 

Hollywood had effectively boycotted the Globes. It used to be one of the most-watched award shows after the Academy Awards. 

But after the Los Angeles Times reported ahead of the 2021 broadcast that the HFPA’s 87 members of non-American journalists included no Black members, studios, publicists and stars said they would cease participating in the Globes. 

Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globe awards.

Since then, the HFPA has reorganized itself, revamped its membership and enacted reforms designed to curtail the kinds of unethical behavior the group has long been criticized for. 

The HFPA added new members, including six Black voting members, and recently added 103 international, nonmember voters. 

The HFPA said in September their voting body is now 52% female, 19.5% Latino, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern.

‘We recognize the HFPA´s commitment to ongoing change and look forward to welcoming back the Golden Globes to NBC for its landmark 80th Anniversary in January 2023,’ said Frances Berwick, chairman of entertainment networks for NBCUniversal.

NBC had reason to want to get the Globes back on the air. 

In 2018, the network signed an eight-year deal to continue airing the awards through 2026. 

Citing the HFPA’s ongoing reforms, NBC elected not to televise the previous Golden Globes in January. The organization went ahead announcing awards, anyway, in an untelevised and little-noticed gathering unattended by nominees.

This year´s ceremony, the organizations said, will be broadcast in a one-year agreement.

Terms were unavailable but the deal is expected to be less than the approximately $60 million the network previously paid annually to air the Globes. With backlash swirling and the ceremony scaled down because of the pandemic, the 2021 Globes were watched by 6.9 million people, according to Nielsen, down from more than 18 million the year before.

Whether NBC’s endorsement will be enough to return the Globes to Hollywood’s good graces, however, remains to be seen. Nominations for the Globes were announced on December 12.

The HFPA is currently being run by interim Chief Executive Todd Boehly, whose investment firm, Eldridge Industries, bought the Globes and turned it from a nonprofit into a for-profit venture. 

Boehly’s firm is also the parent company of Dick Clark productions, the awards’ producer, and the owner of the Globes’ longtime home, the Beverly Hilton.
