Film Industry Discussion Question

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2024-01-05/2024-golden-globes-cbsnominations-categories-voters-scandal-hollywood Back in 2022, the Golden Globes, the annual awards given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), was embroiled in a contentious dispute, in which a 2021 Times investigation disclosed a barrage of controversies in the behavior of the HFPA. In an attempt to save the broadcast’s all-time low ratings, this year, the Globes is more than ready to make its comeback in the industry. Finding a new home in CBS, it has expanded categories, reconstructed the nomination scale, and redesigned the trophies to reform itself. Witnessing the thriving spectacle of streaming services, the Globes is also eager to have a finger in the big pie to draw in a larger audience. However, streaming behemoths like Netflix and Amazon unequivocally turned down their involvement, perceiving it as a damaged property. The Globes is still trying to find its way out with live events and CBS’s broadcast. Having said that, despite HFPA’s scandals, every sector in the industry is in hot water nowadays — movies seem to be on the verge of disappearing, and they are waiting for effective marketing tools by the Globes. Therefore, people are still looking forward to the reshaping impact the return of the Golden Globes will have.
