Brendan Fraser: I won't participate in Golden Globes

NEW YORK CITY: Brendan Fraser, whose performance in "The Whale" has made him a likely awards candidate this year, says he won't attend the Golden Globes in January if he's nominated.

In 2018, Fraser said he was groped by longtime Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) member Philip Berk, a former president of the organization behind the Globes. The actor said the incident took place at a luncheon in Beverly Hills in 2003. Berk, who hails from South Africa, was expelled from the HFPA last year after calling Black Lives Matter "a racist hate movement."
