Last week, HFPA president Helen Hoehne invited celebrities to participate in the virtual event, but it is unclear which, if any, stars have accepted.
Winners are TBD until the ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, and the HFPA has thus far kept mum on show details, but, Hoehne did write in a letter obtained bythat the Globes special will focus on the group’s philanthropic efforts, which include a complete overhaul of its bylaws in the last eight months and implementing changes to address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, among other concerns.
Earlier this year , the HFPA came under public scrutiny over its racially homogenous makeup, as well as the lavish network and studio gifts, trips and events the cohort would accept as a ploy to visit sets or attend press conferences.
“The danger is expecting there to be a sort of immediate fix,” Phillips said. “If the HFPA is seen giving a certain number of awards to talent of color, creatives of color, then the HFPA is fixed. It just doesn’t work that way. The notion of thinking that this is going to be some quick fix as a result of what awards are handed out in the coming weeks, that’s not what we should be looking for.”
To democratize the Globes nominations process further, submissions were not required for award consideration this year, but the HFPA did accommodate talent that requested their content to be considered only for specific categories. Moreover, the HFPA inducted 21 new members to the group, and gave them eligibility to vote. Currently, the HFPA has 105 members.
