Often considered the springboard ceremony for the Oscars, the Golden Globes will be held in Beverly Hills (California) on January 5, and will be presented by American comedian Nikki Glaser. They were reformed after being at the center of a scandal in 2021 when the Los Angeles Times revealed that the organization managing, awarding and awarding the ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), did not have a single black person on its staff.
The Globes were subsequently purchased by a group of private investors and the HFPA dissolved. Organizers hope to capitalize on the audience rebound during the last ceremony and even strengthen its status as an essential springboard for the Oscars.
