Los Angeles: Listed in tenacious controversy and in the boycott of the entertainment industry, the organizers of the Golden Globes have decided to maintain their prize ceremony scheduled for Sunday which will have neither a public nor a television retransmission.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which is the jury for these prizes, has been the target for months of accusations of racism, sexism, harassment and corruption.

The Gala Galben Globes evening has traditionally opened the Cinematographic Prize season and was run by the Hollywood gratin.But this year, the stars are on absent subscribers and the NBC television channel has given up broadcasting the ceremony.

This will not prevent the HFPA from proceeding as if nothing had been given its awards, Sunday in the usual Beverly Hills Hotel, to highlight "philanthropic works" of the association."In the past 25 years, HFPA has donated more than $ 50 million" to various charity associations, the organizers underline in a press release.

No audience is planned for this 79th edition of the Golden Globes, adds the association, invoking the health situation and the rapid propagation of the Omicron variant.

"Belfast" by Kenneth Branagh and "The Power of the Dog" by Jane Campion are at the top of the nominations this year.

The future of Golden Globes seems uncertain.More than a hundred publicists had written at the HFPA last March to ask him to put an end to "discriminatory and non -professional behavior, ethical shortcomings and accusations of corruption".

Faced with the scandal, the organization quickly announced a series of reforms, including unprecedented recruitment of new members to improve the representation of minorities within it.

But criticisms, like the stars Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo have publicly denounced these reforms deemed insufficient, while Tom Cruise referred to the organization his three Golden Globes as a sign of protest.

Large studios like Warner Bros, Netflix and Amazon have in the process lets you know that they would no longer work with HFPA as long as significant changes have been implemented.
