‘Not even a ceremony’
Ricky Gervais, 60, who hosted five of the awards in ten years, says he thinks it could even be the last time we see Sunday’s event.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: “They’re trying to get through this and start again. I don’t think anyone’s even been invited. It’s not even a ceremony.
“You can’t predict anything in this world. They could come back stronger than ever and be loved again or it could be the last one.
“You never know. I don’t take any-thing for granted any more. I just keep plodding on. And whatever happens, happens.”

Diversity scandal
The HFPA came under fire after a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed in February ethical lapses and a stunning lack of diversity — there was not a single Black journalist in the 87-person group.
Studios and PR firms threatened to boycott. Tom Cruise even returned his three Golden Globes, while other A-listers condemned the group on social media.

Who announced the winners?
The HFPA enlisted leaders of the groups it has given grants to to announce the winners.

None of the winners appeared to be present at the event on Sunday, nor did they immediately comment on their awards.

West Side Story had a big night

Awards were blogged
The Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood’s so-called biggest party that regularly drew 18 million television viewers, was reduced to a live-blog Sunday night for its 79th edition.
The embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association proceeded with its film awards Sunday night without a telecast, nominees, a red carpet, a host, press or even a livestream.
Instead, members of the HFPA and some recipients of the group’s philanthropic grants gathered at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for a 90-minute private event, announcing the names of the film and television winners on the organization’s social media feeds.

Why the Golden Globes weren’t televised, continued
Deadline reported that the decision not to broadcast an online version of the Globes has nothing to do with the HFPA’s multimillion-dollar, multi-year deal with NBC.
According to a source at the Comcast-owned network, NBC is not blocking the HFPA’s livestream.
NBC decided to pull the plug on the show due to lack of diversity by the HFPA.
HFPA president Helen Hoehne told The Hollywood Reporter: “Change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”

Why the Golden Globes weren’t televised

“This year’s event is going to be a private event and will not be live-streamed,” an HFPA spokesperson told Deadline.
