After some uproar surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lack of diversity and its ethics, NBC dropped the broadcast for 2022.

“Change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes,” NBC said in a statement. “Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”

Indeed, in September 2022, NBC and the HFPA agreed to a one-year deal to bring the Golden Globes back to NBC. Part of the changes the HFPA implemented was diversifying its membership.

According to the NBC press release:

The HFPA recently announced the introduction of 103 new voters to its ranks, marking the first time voters based outside of the U.S. have been added to the voting pool. This diverse voting body is now represented by 62 different countries. Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is now 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse, with 19.5% Latinx, 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, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement.

“We are thrilled to announce the return of the Golden Globe Awards on NBC and to hosting the ‘Party of the Year’ for audiences around the world who have been waiting for its return,” said Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA. “It’s great to be back at the Beverly Hilton for the must-see celebration recognizing the best in film and television. The HFPA remains committed to important changes and supporting programs which prioritize diversity, inclusion, and transparency. See you on January 10!”

“We have seen first-hand the dedication of the HFPA as it continues to modernize and act on its important mission,” said Adam Stotsky, President of dick clark productions. “We’re excited to produce the show that kicks off award season, supports so many here in Los Angeles, and impacts artists across the globe.”

The 80th annual Golden Globes air live on Tuesday, January 10 at 8 p.m. Eastern and 5 p.m. Pacific time on NBC.
