There will be no celebrity presenters for Golden Globes 2022 when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announces 2022’s Golden Globe winners on January 9.
Variety has obtained a copy of an e-mail from the Globes talent booker sent to several publicity agencies inquiring about their clients participating in the show. However, sources said that no celebrities have agreed to participate in Golden Globes 2022.
“The Golden Globes will move forward with a small event on January 9 that will not only award the best performances in television and film for 2021 but also on recognizing the importance of supporting diverse creatives across the industry,” the letter reads. “The event this year will celebrate and honor a variety of diverse, community-based programs that empower inclusive filmmakers and journalists to pursue their storytelling passions. The HFPA has financially supported important underserved organizations for decades and will continue to invest in the future leaders of our industry.”
No details were provided about the winners and where the Globes will occur. “The event will have limited guests and with strict COVID protocols that include not only proof of full vaccination, but also a booster shot and a negative PCR test,” the e-mail reads.
Surprise presenter Snoop Dogg and Helen Hoehne, the organization’s president, announced the nominees for this year’s awards during a Livestream on the Globes’ YouTube Chanel on December 13.
For the January 9 ceremony, the HFPA has yet to announce its official plans. This year, NBC canceled the annual telecast after the HFPA came under fire for lack of diversity among its unethical business practices and membership.
