Berk was expelled in 2021 for calling Black Lives Matter “a racist hate motion.”
Then there’s Tom Cruise, whose movie “Top Gun: Maverick” was nominated for Finest Movement Image – Drama. Cruise would have probably been up for Finest Actor, and will land there for the Academy, however he returned his three Golden Globes trophies in protest due to the controversies. The voting members determined to take the petty route and neglected him.
By way of timing, it’s value noting that the Golden Globes winners have been revealed on the identical day that Academy Award members began casting their nominations ballots for the ninety fifth annual awards. The slate of Oscar contenders will likely be unveiled on January 24, with the Oscars present set for March 12.
