The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is planning to go ahead with its 2022 Golden Globe ceremony, despite the awards show will no longer air on NBC.

NBC declared back in May that it would not broadcast next year's Golden Globes, which is hosted by HFPA, following sparked outrage from a Los Angeles Times exposé that revealed that there were zero Black members within the HFPA.

The organization is comprised of 87 international journalists who decided the nominees and winners of the Golden Globes each year.

A source told Variety that the HFPA plans to recognize the performances of 2021 to celebrate the great work of the industry this past year at the 79th Annual Golden Globes despite not having their usual home network to broadcast them.

No further details were given about the ceremony.

In March, the HFPA pledged to have a 13% Black membership by the next award show and affirmed its commitment to making necessary changes within the organization and in the industry as a whole.

"We also acknowledge that we should have done more, and sooner," the organization added in a statement.

Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson, were among the various Hollywood stars who boycotted the HFPA, Cruise even returned all three of his Golden Globe Awards.
