50 Cent + Tom Cruise support Hollywood protest
Three-time Golden Globe winner Tom Cruise returned his trophies in protest of the lack of diversity among the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — the entity that selects the Golden Globe winners. A number of Hollywood figures have called out the HFPA recently, and companies like Netflix and Amazon have announced boycotts of the Golden Globes. 50 Cent went to Instagram to salute Cruise for joining the protest.
“For the first time since 1996 NBC won’t be airing the Golden Globes no diversity, no show. @tomcruise is the man for sending his trophy’s back.”
Director and producer Ava DuVernay also praised Cruise on Twitter.
“That time that Tom Cruise sent his @goldenglobes for ‘Jerry Maguire,’ ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ in an actual box to the reception desk of HFPA to stand against their sexist, homophobic, racist practices of exclusion, harassment and bias.”
