Less than three days before the Golden Globes are supposed to be announced, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has finally figured out how it’s announcing this year’s kudos. According to a hastily-released statement by the org on Thursday afternoon, the HFPA revealed that it won’t be offering up any sort of livestream or update from the Beverly Hilton ballroom. Instead, it will update winners as they’re announced, both on social media and on its website.
Essentially, that is what the org says in this terse, short statement: “This year’s event is going to be a private event and will not be livestreamed. We will be providing real time updates on winners on the Golden Globes website and our social media.”
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has revealed its plans for how the 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be announced on Sunday. The very stripped-down version event will still take place January 9, 2022, from the Beverly Hilton, but without the usual pomp and circumstance.
Instead, the event, which will take place at 6 p.m. PT without food or drink, will center on announcing this year’s winners while also focusing on the HFPA’s philanthropy work. There will not be an audience, only select HFPA members and philanthropy grantees will be in the room. There will be no red carpet and media credential requests for the event will not be accepted, the org said.
The HFPA is still in the process of determining whether there will be a livestream or how winners will be announced on social media.
