2022 Golden Globes Nominees: But Does Anyone Care?

The 2022 Golden Globes Nominees have been announced but does anyone actually care until the HFPA cleans up its act?

The 2022 Golden Globes nominations were announced yesterday but not everyone in Hollywood woke up with excitement to hear the news. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association came under fire in 2021 for not having any Black members in its 100-person organization, shady behavior regarding expensive gifts to sway their votes and other unethical behavior that prompted Tom Cruise to return all 3 of his Golden Globes from previous years.

NBC canceled its planned 2022 broadcast and the studios have pushed back against the HFPA demanding real changes.

How the 2022 Golden Globes will actually be awarded remains up in the air right now and we’re not seeing the typical push by publicists and studios.

2021 was not the typical year for Hollywood with fewer releases due to the ongoing COVID pandemic and it’s clear from the nominations that there has been some movement in the right direction but nobody is going to be happy unless certain people win.

West Side Story had an abysmal opening weekend at the box office bringing in less than $11M; the Spielberg remake opened with fantastic reviews and a huge marketing push so the overall numbers are certainly cause for concern.

Critics are surely going to attack the lack of diversity in the “Best Director” category but shouldn’t the nominations actually reflect the quality of the work and not the color, sex, or ethnicity of the filmmaker?

Does the television and film audience even care anymore? The ratings for all of the major awards programs have plummeted in recent years because the general public is tired of the politics that have become the lead story and not the television programs and movies themselves.

We watch television and movies to be entertained; nobody cares if the filmmaker is African-American, Korean, Israeli, LGBTQ, or part of some enlightened woke group.
