Two years after a diversity scandal rocked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to its foundations and NBC pulled the 2022 Golden Globes off the air, the show is back and set to broadcast live in 2023. A number of “high-level sources briefed on the plan” told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday that NBC is focused on a Jan. 10, 2023, airdate. Both NBC and the HFPA—the organization behind the Golden Globes—declined to comment to THR. The HFPA came under pressure after the Los Angeles Times published a report on Feb. 21, 2021, detailing how the body had no Black members.
