This will be the first Golden Globes ceremony broadcast on NBC in two years, as the network canceled the 2022 telecast following a diversity scandal. In 2021, it was revealed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had zero Black members, and the organization also faced allegations of ethical lapses. The HFPA has since expanded its voting body, including by adding Black members.
So in September, NBC confirmed it will bring back the Golden Globes, a ceremony that has long allowed potential Oscar contenders to gain a crucial boost in visibility. Notably, though, NBC only made a one-year agreement with the HFPA, leaving the telecast's future beyond 2023 up in the air. A Golden Globes ceremony technically did take place in 2022, but it was a private event featuring no stars, and there was no way to watch it.
This year's Golden Globe nominations will be announced on Dec. 12, and the telecast is set for Jan. 10.
