TheGolden Globeswill look very different next year.
On Monday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association formallyannounced the nominations forthe 79th annual Golden Globe Awards, recognizing film and television from the past year.
This came after NBC said back in May that it would not broadcast the 2022 awards show due to outrage sparkedfrom aLos Angeles Timesexposé, which reported thatthere were zero Black members withinthe HFPA. (The HFPA is comprised of 87 international journalists who determine the nominees and winners of the Golden Globes each year.)
The HFPA has since made updates and revisions tobecome more inclusive afterit faced boycotts among Hollywood, includingTom Cruise returning all three of his Golden Globetrophies due to the controversy.
After the nominees were unveiled, however, Hollywood remained mostly silent, with only a few stars reacting to the announcement like in years past.Nicole Kidman, Jessica Chastain and Cynthia Erivowere amongthe select nominees to publicly acknowledge their nominations. This year, submissions were not required for award consideration.
One industry source tells PEOPLE, “From a network perspective, nobody knows what to do about the Globes and a lot of people are still undecided because there’s still a bit of time to make a decision. But it feels as if they’re not even happening.”
Another industry source adds, “There’s been no communication or excitement about attending. It seems like a lot of people won’t be going. People really don’t know what to do.”

Poseco-creator Steven Canalstweetedabout the show’s recognition (three nominations, including best drama series) in the context of the HFPA’s controversy.
The winners will be announced in some capacity on Sunday, Jan. 9, though it’s unclear what the ceremony will be like and where it will air. That is the same night the 2022 Critics Choice Awards will broadcast its ceremony, live on The CW and TBS. (That awards show alsoannounced their nominations on Mondaymorning.)
HFPA president Helen Hoehne said this week,according toVariety, that there will likely be no red carpet for this year’s show and they aren’t expecting many celebrities to show up. As for how the 2022 show will turn out: “We’re going to sit down, and we’re going to work on exactly what the night is going to look like. We don’t know the exact details yet. What is certain is that it’s not going to be the celebrity-driven event like it has been in the past. We realize this year is different, so we’re going to probably also try something different for January 9.”
