Will there be a boycott of the Golden Globes 2024?

Stars boycotted the Golden Globes en masse in 2022 due to concerns over the lack of diversity in the organisation behind the awards. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which had presented the awards since 1955, was revealed to have no Black members in its 87-person team.

However, the HFPA has since disbanded and Dick Clark Productions is taking over as host of the Golden Globes from 2024. The group has a much more diverse voting body, with 47% women and 60% ethnically diverse people.

Despite these big steps forward, the ceremony is still reportedly without a host, as comedian Chris Rock, SmartLess podcasters Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman, and Beef star Ali Wong are believed to have turned down the gig.
