The 79th Golden Globes ceremony was held in special conditions, without an audience, without a red carpet and without a television broadcast … But with a prize list all the same.
Even if that almost did not happen, the 79th edition of the Golden Globes, which award awards each year to the world of cinema and television, saw the light of day on January 9, 2022. The controversial HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press or Hollywood Foreign Press Association) which has awarded Golden Globes titles since 1944, has been criticized since the organization was accused of lack of diversity, inappropriate behavior within it and questionable organization.
An edition organized on social networks
In fact, she had been let go by NBC, the channel that usually broadcast the ceremony, but also by a number of big stars. Despite the numerous calls for boycott, the ceremony did indeed take place but took place without a red carpet, without an audience and was not broadcast on television either. Blame it on the pandemic, according to the organizers. The course of the ceremony and the announcement of the final prize list were therefore to be found on social networks. Thus, this 2022 edition is simply a list of winners.
