Tom Cruise is returning his three Golden Globe statues. The awards, for his roles in “Jerry Maguire,” “Magnolia” and “Born on the Fourth of July,” will be given back as Cruise joins others protesting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes' organizing body that has long been called out for what many have called racist and sexist practices. NBC announced they are canceling next year’s broadcast, and said they hope to return in 2023, pending the HFPA’s “meaningful reform.” #InsideEdition

Tom Cruise Gives Back His Golden Globes as NBC DROPS the Award Show Amid Diversity Scandal
The 2022 Golden Globe Awards were dropped by NBC on Monday. The network said in a statement, ‘We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.’ In addition, ET has confirmed Tom Cruise returned his trophies to the HFPA in protest. The 58-year-old actor added his name to the list of celebrities who have taken action against the organization.
