Brendan Fraser slams Golden Globes as meaningless ‘hood ornaments’

Brendan Fraser has slammed Golden Globes as meaningless “hood ornaments” he doesn’t want.

The 54-year-old actor boycotted attending this year’s Globes awards despite being nominated in the best actor category for his role as obese teacher Charlie in The Whale – which was awarded to Austin Butler for Elvis – and said the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which decides the ceremony’s winners, had brushed off his claims of sexual misconduct by its former president Philip Berk.

He told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show on Tuesday: “I found myself wondering, ‘Is this a cynical nomination?’

“I couldn’t really tell because of my history with them and that I still have yet to see the results from their reformation. We all are still awaiting that, to tell you the truth.

“Get it or don’t get it – doesn’t matter. What does matter is that it would mean nothing to me.
