Tom Cruise has returned his three Golden Globes in protest after criticisms levelled at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association continue to create problems in the industry. The actor, who won for Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia, is one of many to stand up against the HFPA, the small group of international journalists who vote on the awards, after an expos highlighted failings. NBC has also announced that it will not be airing the 2022 Golden Globes. The HFPA has been under fire since the Los Angeles Times revealed allegations of corruption and impropriety as well as a lack of any black members. The network has shown the Golden Globes since 1996, paying about $60m a year for rights. The most recent ceremony, which saw Nomadland win big, saw a 60% drop in viewers. The last week has seen studios, publicists and stars continue to distance themselves from the HFPA. Netflix, WarnerMedia and Scarlett Johansson have all urged the industry to take action. Unless there is necessary fundamental reform within the organization, I believe it is time that we take a step back from the HFPA, Johansson said. Nearly 100 PR firms representing the film industry said they would continue to refrain from any HFPA-sanctioned events, including press conferences, unless and until these issues are illuminated in detail with a firm commitment to a timeline. The Los Angeles Times ran two investigations in the lead-up to this years ceremony, detailing many ethical lapses that have seen members courted by studios as well as barriers faced by black journalists. Since the article was published, the HFPAs former president Phillip Berk was expelled for sharing an article with other members that referred to Black Lives Matter as a racist hate group. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...

Didn't they already say next year will have open voting to all members?
EDIT: ah, okay, the article mentions that they already have changes planned but NBC isn't going to air it until the changes have been implemented. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
