The Golden Globes are back this Tuesday its 80th edition with a one-on-one television gala (not for Argentina, among other countries), several confirmed Hollywood stars and the challenge to regain prestige, after years of controversy in which they have been on the verge of their demise.
The “glamour” of the red carpets, applause and celebratory atmosphere at the cinema faded completely in 2022, when the chain NBC decided not to broadcast the gala due to the refusal of the American film industry to the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood (HFPA) , organizer of the awards.
everything after years of complaints about their bad practices and that an investigation by the newspaper came to light Los Angeles Times which has discredited the group in charge of voting on the awards since 1943, whose structure and functioning have gradually deteriorated to become one of the most criticized institutions in the audiovisual industry.
Following the dispute, the HFPA carried out an image recycling campaign and internal changes, including changing its foundation or deciding to add 21 new members to its board (Black, Asian, female, and Latina) to ensure the diversity and fairness of its judging panel.
