This 79th ceremony will take place on January 9 but, for the first time, it will not be broadcast by NBC. The channel had given up broadcasting it last spring following revelations about the internal practices of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, criticized in particular for its notable lack of diversity. Several media, actresses and actors had called for a boycott of the ceremony. As Allociné reports, the association claims to have implemented changes in this direction, for example by integrating 21 new members.
