Tom Cruise gives back his 'Golden Globe' awards 'Out-Of-Protest'

The Hollywood Foreign Press created the "Golden Globe" Awards back in the 1940's. It has grown into a popular show alongside the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Foreign Press chooses favorite movie & TV performances from more mainstream categories.

The Academy Awards was fiercely criticized a few years back... Its' members only nominated "white" performers in all of the acting categories. There was a campaign started called, "Oscar-So-White." Reforms began within the Academy....

It has been reported that the Hollywood Foreign Press has 87 committee members with no "black" members. There is no report on whether there are members consisting of Asians, Latinos nor Native Americans. Another campaign has started on "diversity" against the Foreign Press.

The fallout has begun with "Netflix" and "Warner Media" bowing out of the "Globes" until reforms are made. NBC announced today (5/10/2021) that the network will not air the "Globes" in 2022. Scarlett Johansson has boycotted the show too. Tom Cruise went as far as returning the three "Globe" awards he won throughout his career. All out of protest. 

The Hollywood Foreign Press has announced reforms - but it will take some time.
