(ANSA) – NEW YORK, JAN 05 – No stars, no red carpet, no audience and not even the winners in the hall: the next edition of the Golden Globes will take place next Sunday in a narrow gauge in stark contrast to what Hollywood had been like for decades the party of the year: an evening with a high content of glamor in which press and VIPs sat side by side at the table while the champagne flowed freely for hours.
The “mini Globes” on Sunday are certainly a consequence of the Covid which is spreading in the United States, but it is not only this. For almost a year, the Hollywood Foreign Press has become ‘persona non grata’ in the mecca of cinema: ever since the “Los Angeles Times” came up with an investigation from which, among other things, it was discovered that among the then 87 members of an association with questionable ethical practices there was not a single black journalist. Rightly or wrongly (they are awarded by a small pool of a hundred reporters), the Golden Globes are considered the most reliable thermometer in the sprint of the Academy Awards, while the ceremony – this year is running ” Hand of God “by Paolo Sorrentino in the category of best foreign film as well as frontrunners like” The Power of the Dog “,” Belfast “and” West Side Story “- it is traditionally an opportunity for celebrities to fraternize outside the box plastered at the Oscars ceremony.
None of this on Sunday and it is not clear if the evening will be broadcast in streaming or even on Twitter. Exponents of the benefited organizations will apparently replace the stars in the role of presenters of the evening, during which we will also talk about the “Reimagine Coalition”, a five-year joint venture with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Naacp) announced in October. to “enhance diversity, equity and inclusion in the global entertainment industry”.
