Emmy campaigns are heating up as voting enters its final stretch, but first the latest chapter in the all-enveloping Golden Globes scandal.
Earlier this week there was a trade report rumoring sightings of officials from the Critics Choice Association and those associated with the production of its Critics Choice Awards broadcast scouting the Beverly Hilton’s main ballroom and planning logistics for their show, which has been announced for Sunday January 9. That happens to be the date the Golden Globes were expected to do their show for NBC from their longtime home – you guessed it – the Beverly Hilton.
Of course the well-publicized and continuing scandal surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association nixed those plans with NBC (and Dick Clark Productions which produces the show). Those entities canceled the 2022 Globes broadcast and are holding off on any future commitments until they...

In January 2016, the hashtag that changed the awards landscape — #OscarsSoWhite — forced the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to evaluate not only their membership but the way Hollywood makes movies. Then came 2020, the year that tested the Hollywood industry from business operations to simple creative expressions. The mood among commenters on social media responses to analysis articles and predictions is often “Hollywood giving itself awards is not what this country needs” and/or “movies, what movies?”

Jorge Camara, former president and longtime member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, died Friday after a long battle with cancer. He was 84. “It is with great regret that I have to let you know of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Jorge Camara,” Lorenzo Soria, current HFPA president, said in a statement. “Jorge passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon after struggling with health issues for the past few years.

Many of you have worked closely with him, and we know you will join in our sorrow.” Camara was born on Jan. 10, 1936. Originally from Mérida, Mexico, he studied journalism in Mexico City and made his way to Los Angeles to pursue a career writing about film, a passion of his from a young age. After arriving in Southern California, he found work writing for three publications.

Atonement took the top honor at the extremely short Golden Globe Awards, nabbing Best Picture (Drama), but no single film took home more than two awards. The literary adaptation also won the Best Score award as well, while on the Comedy/Musical side, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was Best Picture (Comedy/Musical), with star Johnny Depp winning his first Globe ever for the title role. Other movies winning two awards were critical favorite No Country for Old Men (screenplay and supporting actor for Javier Bardem) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Foreign Language Film and a surprise win for director Julian Schnabel). Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) and Julie Christie (Away From Her), now officially heavy Oscar favorites, won dramatic lead honors, and Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose) was named Best Actress - Comedy/Musical. Cate Blanchett nabbed Best Supporting Actress for I'm Not There -- which could have been the subtitle of the Globes show -- and other winners included Ratatouille (animated film) and Into the Wild (song).
On the television side, freshman drama Mad Men was the top series winner, taking home the only two awards for which it was nominated -- Dramatic Series and Best Actor (Drama) for star Jon Hamm; the new show with the most nominations, Damages, won only one, for lead actress Glenn Close. The comedy winners were all a bit unexpected, with Extras nabbing the series award, and comedy acting honors going to Tina Fey (30 Rock) and David Duchovny (Californication). Winning three awards -- more than any other television show or film -- was the HBO film Longford, starring Globe winners Jim Broadbent and Samantha Morton. Other winners were also HBO stars - Queen Latifah for Life Support and Jeremy Piven, winning his first Globe for Entourage.
As for the show itself, it was devoid of movie stars, but filled with correspondents from entertainment news shows -- Mary Hart, Giuliana Rancic, and Jim Moret, among others -- who simultaneously saluted the striking writers of the WGA and praised Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Jorge Camara, who presented the final awards of the evening. At around 32 minutes, it was succinct and to the point, but without the stars, the fashion, the high-profile goofs, the speeches, and the champagne, this year's Globes were a shadow of their former incarnations. But Camara promised next year's show would be "bigger and better" than ever before. Hopefully, no one will be on strike then. --Mark Englehart, IMDb staff

STRIKE ZONE: LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES
UPDATED 4:25 p.m. PT Jan. 7
NEW YORK -- NBC and the HFPA settled on a plan Monday to air the Golden Globes without, well, actually airing the Golden Globes.
The network said it will broadcast several hours of coverage beginning at 4 p.m. PST that encompasses a red carpet and one-hour news conference at the Beverly Hilton.
In short, the show will go on -- but without the sizzle.
But industry veterans immediately began scratching their heads, suggesting that the plan creates more confusion around an already cloudy picture.
The decision comes after days of wrangling in which the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. pushed hard for NBC to drop plans to televise the proceedings, which presumably would have prompted the guilds to lift the picket and allow stars to attend. The HFPA only partly concealed its frustration at the circumstances.
"We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," HFPA president Jorge Camara said. "We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled." With the decision, the HFPA will apparently forgo the traditional network license fee, which is in the $5 million range.
NBC, which had for weeks made firm pronouncements about its intention to go on with the traditional three-hour gala awards show, stuck to its guns after earlier reports that it would scrap the Globes entirely and air something else Sunday.
The decision to cover the awards using an untested format despite calls from the HFPA not to broadcast the show can be seen as a continuation of the company's -- and NBC Uni president and CEO Jeff Zucker's -- hard line on the strike.

NEW YORK -- The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. and NBC have reached a deal for a scaled-back version of the 65th Annual Golden Globes that will eliminate the formal show at the Beverly Hilton but still create a block of programming around the winners.
"We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," HFPA president Jorge Camara said. "We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled."
The programming Sunday evening will include a hotel press conference, red carpet and party coverage, much of which would be televised either by NBC through its NBC News division or other existing programs.
The effort is an attempt to satisfy the concerns of the WGA and SAG -- allowing a picket to be lifted and stars to attend -- while still providing enough live programming that NBC could garner viewers and advertisers.

NEW YORK -- With the Golden Globes just 10 days away, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. said Wednesday it had entered into talks with the WGA for an interim strike-waiver agreement.
But the guilds sounded a pessimistic, even surprised, note about the possibility, and late Wednesday the chances for an 11th-hour reprieve seemed like a serious long shot.
HFPA president Jorge Camara issued a letter stating that reps for the group "began discussions" last Saturday for an interim agreement that would allow the Globes, which are produced by Dick Clark Prods., to go forward with writers and without a picket line.
The writers guilds, though, seemed taken aback by the announcement. Asked on the picket line outside The Late Show with Conan O'Brien about the HFPA missive, WGA East president Michael Winship seemed almost surprised about the contents of the letter. "There have been some informal conversations but really nothing more than that," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
The WGA West followed soon after with a statement that also sought to put distance between itself and the HFPA letter. "Dick Clark Productions is a struck company. As previously announced, the Writers Guild will be picketing the Golden Globe Awards," it said.
SAG followed with a similar statement, with president Alan Rosenberg saying that it had scheduled a meeting with members who are Globe nominees.
Sources said that after overtures from Dick Clark Prods. didn't gain traction -- resulting in the WGA saying it would not grant a waiver -- HFPA attorney George Braunstein stepped in to kickstart the talks.
