West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler, Javier Bardem, Ben Affleck, Lady Gaga, more score Golden Globe nominations

The HFPA will recognize the best in film and television on January 9, 2022


DECEMBER 13, 2021 1:23 PM EST

The show will go on, even if NBC is not broadcasting it! On Monday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced the nominations for the 79th annual Golden Globes. Belfast and The Power of the Dog lead the pack with seven nominations each. West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler scored her first nod, as did In the Heights actor   Anthony Ramos .

The awards show, which celebrates the best in film and television, is scheduled to take place on January 9, 2022. Back in May, NBC said that they would not air the 2022 Golden Globes. “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” NBC said in a statement at the time (via  Variety ). “However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”

A press release for the awards show noted on Monday that over the last eight months, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has “completely overhauled their bylaws, implementing sweeping changes from top to bottom that address ethics and code of conduct, diversity, equity and inclusion, governance, membership and more.” The HFPA also recently admitted “their largest and most diverse class to date of 21 new members, all of whom are first-time Golden Globe voters.”
