On Monday, NBC announced that it won’t broadcast the Golden Globes next year after low ratings and the film industry’s denouncement of the lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as well as ethical issues plaguing the group, which puts on the event. Prior to NBC’s announcement, Scarlett Johansson issued a statement calling for the entertainment industry to pull back from HFPA-sponsored events; afterward, Tom Cruise drew significant buzz when a source close to the actor told CNN that he had returned his Golden Globe awards (for “Jerry Maguire” and “Magnolia”) to the HFPA.
