LOS ANGELES—NBC said on Monday it will not broadcast Hollywood’s Golden Globes ceremony in 2022 following complaints about ethical lapses and lack of diversity among the group that hands out the annual awards for film and television.

The decision came despite a plan approved last week by the small Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which hands out the awards, to recruit more black members and make other changes over the next year.
