New York Post Reports: The Golden Globes returned to the small screen last night, and fans were not pleased — slamming the event as “woke” and “boring.”
The awards show made a comeback after not airing on NBC last year due to a diversity scandal with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
NBC abruptly pulled the plug on airing the 2022 Golden Globes, citing the need for “meaningful reform” by the embattled organization which doles out the gilded trophies.
Host Jerrod Carmichael, 35, touched on the HFPA’s controversy in his monologue, revealing why he believed he was chosen to host: “I’m here because I’m black.”
“This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won’t say they were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died,” he explained. “So do with that information what you will.”
The return of the Globes was supposed to signal a fresh start, however, many viewers took to social media to express their disappointment.
