The 79th Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood's ostensibly largest celebration, which typically drew 18 million television viewers, were confined to a live blog Sunday night.

The troubled Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) held its film awards ceremony on Sunday night without a television, nominations, a red carpet, a host, press, or even a livestream.

Many in Hollywood were taken aback by the organization's decision to have any type of celebration.

The fact that the organization proceeded with any kind of event came as a surprise to many in Hollywood. The HFPA came under fire after a Los Angeles Times investigation uncovered ethical violations and lack of diversity in February – among a group of 87, there were no Black journalists. Tom Cruise even returned his three Golden Globes, while other celebrities publicly attacked the organization on social media.

Members of the HFPA and beneficiaries instead gathered for a private 90-minute event at the Beverly Hilton to announce the winners via social media streams. The HFPA justified its position citing Covid fears.

Though announcing winners on social media might seem like a straightforward task, those following along on Twitter only might have been somewhat confused at times, and the reason is that the tweets often left out exactly which project a person had won for.
