Do the Golden Globes deserve a ‘second chance’? Stars return, celebrate Michelle Yeoh, 'The Fabelmans'
in a further bid to expand and diversify its long closed-off ranks. The group has also banned gifts, instituted a hotline for reporting misconduct and quietly ejected a handful of members whom they have accused of violating its standards.
For all the razzle-dazzle — and not infrequent controversy — that surrounds them, the Globes are not considered a particularly reliable harbinger for the Oscars. Still, while the Globes’ credibility has often come in for mockery — hosting the awards in 2016, Ricky Gervais dismissed them as “worthless” — the results can provide some sense of which films and performances have the wind at their back and which may be sputtering.
In one of the evening’s sharpest barbs — aimed squarely at the star of last year’s biggest box office hit, “Top Gun: Maverick” — Carmichael came onstage at one point clutching “three Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned.” “I have a pitch: I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige?” Carmichael said, referring to the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Cruise is a member of the religion.
In bringing the Globes back, NBC, which has aired the show since 1996, committed to just a one-year trial. The Globes, which in pre-pandemic times reliably drew an audience of around 18 million annually, saw its viewership plummet to just 6.9 million in 2021. Should this year’s show chalk up similar meager ratings, the HFPA could soon be looking for a new distribution platform, whether on another network or a streaming service.
