The Golden Globes are in crisis! Tom Cruise withdrew the trophy and the widowed sister announced that she would never attend. What do you think?

The Golden Globe Awards have caused big trouble recently! Not long ago, in order to protest against the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association), the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, the well-known movie star Tom Cruise returned three Golden Globe medals in a fit of anger. It is the first time that Tom Cruise won the Best Actor Zhang Jike Award for "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989), the Best Actor Award for Musical Comedy for "Mr. Sweetheart" (1996), and the Best Actor Award for "Mulan" ( 2000) won the Best Supporting Actor Award.

I don’t know why netizens are so weird, what kind of trouble is this. It turns out that the HFPA, the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, was previously exposed to problems such as "racial issues" and "sexist tendencies". As a well-known movie star, Tom Cruise did not hesitate to return the medal. In fact, as early as February 2020, The Los Angeles Times reported in an investigative report that the HFPA has been mired in a variety of objections, ranging from the unique salary packages sought by its members to the lack of racial representation among its members (there are no black members). The most obvious thing is that the HFPA has sexism, homophobia, racial discrimination and other issues at the press conference.

It caused a stir, and many stars and media outlets successively expressed their opinions to stop it. Before Tom Cruise, actors such as "Scarlett" Johansson and "Hulk" Mark Ruffalo all announced that the scandal-ridden Golden Globe Awards should carry out internal reform, and NBC, Netflix ( News media such as Netflix, Amazon and Warner also joined the team to suppress the HFPA. Among them, Scarlett Johansson, a female artist who has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award five times, has been the most violent. Johnson immediately called on the film industry to distance itself before the HFPA reformed. She said that the Golden Globe Awards had a behavior of bullying women, and she would never participate! Black Widow Scarlett recalled that she had previously When participating in the Golden Globe Awards press conference, I often had to face questions and comments about suspected sexism from some HFPA members. These questions are almost close to harassment.

For example, in an interview with the "Women's Federation". Scarlett Johansson was asked "Are you wearing underwear?" "Having said so much, it is very likely that many people do not know much about the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globe Awards are an honorary award for film and television in the United States. They are held in the form of a banquet. The organizer is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

The Golden Globe Awards are one of the most important honorary awards in the American film and television industry. There are 24 honorary awards in total. The Golden Globe Awards are regarded by many as the direction of the Oscars. This award has been held annually since 1944. It should be noted that the final result of this award is determined by online voting by 96 members, about two-thirds of whom are part-time workers. A very serious problem - these 96 members are weakened.

These 96 members are not admitted based on their qualifications and training in the press. They only need to publish every year. Four paid articles are enough. Many people do not rely on news reports, but only occasionally write articles for small and medium-sized overseas publishers. Many of them have been involved for a long time, and there are many of them. Ninety-year-olds rely on pension insurance funds to survive their daily lives.

This makes VIP members very vulnerable to small favors, which means that they are very easy to be "controlled" and "acquired." Although they have not yet become a group of tool men, the high incidence of scandals and suppression incidents is enough to show that they have already lost their credibility. Let’s cite several well-known examples.

In 1982, the Golden Globe Award awarded the Best Newcomer Award to the 26-year-old female lead Pia Zadora in the movie "Butterfly". The objective fact is that Pia's multi-millionaire husband spent a lot of money to hire a group of Media PR bought an honorable mention for his beautiful wife. After the inside story was exposed, the live broadcast room cooperation between the Golden Globe Awards and CBS TV station also came to an end.

In 2011, a media publicist who had run grassroots party-building work for the Golden Globes took the HFPA to court because the entire Golden Globes jury had secretly received the film "The Journey" film. For the benefit of the film crew, they took a discounted trip to Las Vegas and watched Xin'er's concert for free, which subsequently led to the selection of "Deadly Companion", which was not well received by users, into the candidate list.

In fact, in response to various scandals and restrictions, HFPA has also made changes. For example, the HFPA requires that VIP members are only allowed to receive gifts such as champagne, flower bouquets, and movie merchandise. For example, the money earned from the Institute's live broadcast contract with NBC has also been used for charity activities in the entertainment industry. For another example, the HFPA has frequently stated that it strictly prohibits human factors and sophistication from affecting the selection of the Golden Globe Awards.

However, this approach cannot resist the temptation of interests from all levels. You have also seen the final results. Tom Cruise withdrew his medal, Scarlett Johansson announced that she would not participate, and the Golden Globe Awards were mired in scandal in all aspects. It is worth mentioning that as Hollywood’s suppression of the HFPA became more and more intense, NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) finally announced that it would no longer broadcast the 2022 Golden Globe Awards. The HFPA has not yet announced whether it will hold the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.
