TheGolden Globesis moving forward with its 2022 ceremony, though it will operate quite differently than it has in the past.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will host the 79th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 9, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California, recognizing film and television from the past year.
While it remains at its traditional venue, there is little else about the event that will look as it has in previous years. HFPA president Helen Hoehne previously said,according toVariety, that the event wouldn’t be “the celebrity-driven event like it has been in the past.”
“We realize this year is different, so we’re going to probably also try something different for January 9,” she added.
On Tuesday, the organization released more information about Sunday’s event, which is detailed below.
Who Will Attend
There will be no audience or nominees in attendance at Sunday’s awards show following the rapid surge in COVID-19 cases as thehighly-contagious omicron variant rockets through the U.S.
Only “select members and grantees” will be in the room as the awards are announced, according to the organization.
Those in attendance are required to be vaccinated and have received a booster shot, as well as show proof of a negative PCR test within 48 hours of the event. Masks and social distancing will also be enforced.
There will be no red carpet, and media is also not invited to attend.

Where to Watch
The Golden Globes traditionally air on NBC. This year, the ceremony will not be televised after the network said back in May that it would not broadcast the 2022 awards show following outrage sparkedfrom aLos Angeles Timesexposé, which reported thatthere were zero Black members withinthe HFPA. (The HFPA is comprised of 87 international journalists who determine the nominees and winners of the Golden Globes each year.)

The HFPA has since made updates and revisions tobecome more inclusive afterit faced boycotts among Hollywood, includingTom Cruise returning all three of his Golden Globetrophies due to the controversy.
After the nominees were unveiled in December, Hollywood remained mostly silent, with only a few stars reacting to the announcement like in years past. One industry source told PEOPLE, “From a network perspective, nobody knows what to do about the Globes and a lot of people are still undecided because there’s still a bit of time to make a decision. But it feels as if they’re not even happening.”
The HFPA has not said whether or not the awards show will be livestreamed elsewhere.
Where to Find the Winners List
PEOPLE will publish a comprehensive list of the winners at the end of the ceremony, when the information becomes available.
