The 2023 Golden Globes will be hosted by black comedian Jerrod Carmichael. Carmichael is the show's first ever black solo host.
The show marks a return to air for the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA) since it overhauled its organization following a racism row in 2021.
The HFPA scandal erupted in 2021 when it emerged there were no black members among the 87-person association.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler called out the association live during their 2021 opening monologue in February of that year.
'The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international no black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life.'
'We say around 90 because a couple of them might be ghosts,' Fey said.
Stars threatened to boycott the awards and Tom Cruise, who had won three Globes in the past, vowed to return them all unless the association changed its ways.
In April, the association's former president Phil Berk was fired for his resistance to BLM.
He sent an email to other members with a link to an article in which the organization was compared to cult murderer Charles Manson.
The article in Frontpagemag.com claimed BLM was trying to incite a 'race war.'
