Tom Cruise returns awards won at the Golden Globes: What's up with the

Tom Cruise has returned the awards won at the Golden Globes as a result of controversial problems that occurred recently with the organization responsible for the event, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The movie star won the Best Actor Award for his role in "Jerry Maguire" in 1997, "Born on the Fourth of July" in 1990 and the "Best Actor in a Non-Protagonist Role" award for "Magnolia" "in the year 2000.

The non-profit organization, also responsible for the Golden Globes is accused of lack of diversity, lack of people of color as part of it and some economic benefits that are still under scrutiny.

On the other hand, the television platform NBC has announced that it will not broadcast the famous event that evaluates the achievements in cinematography and television series, in 2022. 

"We continue to believe that HFPA needs meaningful reform. However, the change will take work and time, so NBC will not broadcast the Golden Globes in 2022," NBC representatives told CNN Business.

Earlier, it was Scarlett Johansson who asked the platform to withdraw from participating in HFPA-sponsored events, as she said it was a "legitimized organization with the consent of Harvey Weinstein."
