The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is taking extra safety measures to protect those participating in the 2022 Golden Globes ceremony from the latest COVID surge.

The general public will not be able to watch the 2022 Golden Globes ceremony live on Sunday, a major break from tradition amid concerns about Covid-19 transmission and controversy surrounding the HFPA’s lack of diversity and alleged unethical behavior.
The HFPA said in a Thursday statement to Forbes that this year’s ceremony will be a “private event” and “will not be live-streamed,” and winners will instead be announced on the Golden Globes’ official website and social media pages.

The HFPA said Tuesday there would be no audience or red carpet due to the “current pandemic surge,” though some “select members (of the HFPA) and grantees” could attend the ceremony.
NBC – which has aired the Golden Globes since 1996 – said last spring it wouldn’t air the 2022 ceremony in order to give the HFPA time to execute organizational reforms.
While celebrities have been relatively quiet about the ceremony, Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross said that the Golden Globes “are mired in a lot of mess right now,” and “we’ll see” when it comes to this year’s show.
