Golden Globes Boycott, Tom Cruise Virtue Signaling
Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globe awards in protest of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's lack of diversity. The hosts view this as an act of virtue signaling, noting that the awards show was already facing a cancellation due to plummeting ratings and a lack of relevance.
Hollywood Foreign Press President Response to Gervais
Lorenzo Soria, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), was the only individual to publicly push back against Ricky Gervais during the Golden Globes broadcast. Soria joked that Gervais should put his promise to never host again in writing. The hosts note that most of the celebrity audience appeared "shell-shocked" by Gervais's aggressive humor regarding pedophilia and industry corruption.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson introduced his 16-year-old daughter, Simone Garcia Johnson, as the first-ever "Golden Globe Ambassador." The new title, created by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), is criticized as a nepotistic way to involve major stars in the ceremony when their blockbuster "tentpole" films are excluded from traditional awards.
