MOSCOW, December 11 American comedian Chris Rock and a number of his colleagues refused to host the Golden Globe Awards, CNN reports, citing its own sources.
«
“Chris Rock, who has already hosted the Oscars twice, was one of those who refused the offer to host the ceremony on January 7,” the report said.
Another potential candidate for the role of host, American Actress and stand-up Ali Wong also pulled out of the show, as did the trio of “SmartLess” podcast hosts – Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett.
Actresses and multiple former Golden Globe hosts, friends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler also did not want to host the ceremony this year.
“It’s a thankless job,” experts interviewed told CNN. “It’s not worth it. There’s a lot of politics. It’s not easy or fun anymore.”
Publicists say that for an aspiring comedian, performing at the Golden Globes can be a “a way to life” However, for star presenters, given the cost of preparation and the possible dissatisfaction of the public, hosting the ceremony can be a dirty spot in the career.
An incident at this year's Oscars confirms this. Then Chris Rock publicly received a slap on the wrist for an unsuccessful joke about the baldness of actress Jada Pinker-Smith from her husband Will Smith.
The Golden Globe Award, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, has been awarded annually since 1944 for achievements in film and TV screen.
