Every year people complain about the awards show surplus. We finally got rid of the most absurd and corrupt of them — and now to Globes are back? Why?
The HFPA has come under pressure for not having any Black members as well as allegations of ethical and financial lapses raised in a Times investigation.for accepting money and gifts in exchange for support of certain films; the HFPA countersued and the matter was settled out of court.
The Times investigation revealed that, prior to the absurd 2021 nomination for Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” in the best comedy category, the streamer had treated 30 HFPA members to a lavish trip to Paris. Yet rumors of similar perks prefaced virtually every nomination day.
I believe in change but let’s face it: The Golden Globes was created by a tiny, random and sketchily credentialed group of people to give themselves an absurd amount of influence in Hollywood, along with a pretty hefty income stream.Every year, there is a chorus of complaint about the number of awards show. The guild awards, the various critics’ awards, the Spirit Awards, the People’s Choice Awards.
So why, having rid ourselves of one of the biggest and most superfluous ceremonies, are we bringing it back? Do not tell me it’s that we need a kick off to awards season with some sort of “Oscar indicator.” Critics’ awards would make far more sense as an opening volley and as my colleague Glenn Whipp annually explains, with irritating accuracy, the guild awards — WGA, DGA and SAG — are the only Oscar barometers any one needs.
