The 79th Golden Globe Awards which honors the best in film and American television, run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in a private event but was announced on Twitter on January 9, 2022.
The event which faced tremendous backlash following its lack of diversity within the nominees, (citing the beloved /critically acclaimed TV series of the year – I May Destroy You, which was left nominated in every category), saw a host of celebs boycott this year’s event.
The nominations were announced on December 13, 2021, by rapper Snoop Dogg and HFPA president Helen Hoehne.
However the event held with Will Smith winning best actor in a motion picture (drama) for his role as Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena, in King Richard, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez also rewrote history as the first openly trans person to win a Golden Globe award for her role in Pose, while Nicole Kidman bagged her sixth Golden Globe for Best Actress.
