Despite sweeping reforms at the HFPA, some in Hollywood still harbor misgivings about the #GoldenGlobes organization. Meanwhile, viewership for awards shows in general has continued to decline, further threatening the Globes’ viability. latimes.com/entertainment-…
For the HFPA — the small, improbably powerful group of international journalists behind the awards show — it’s been a long and bumpy road since a Times investigation exposed a lack of diversity and raised concerns about its ethics and financial practices. latimes.com/entertainment-…
In the wake of a devastating public-relations crisis that tarnished the #GoldenGlobes and jeopardized its very existence, it remains to be seen just how festive the mood at this year’s awards show will be — and how many viewers will tune in to watch. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Speaking with The Times last month, billionaire investor Todd Boehly, who now serves as interim chief executive of the HFPA, acknowledged the uncertainty. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“We don’t expect to win over 100% of the people — that would be unrealistic. But we also expect that, over time, we’re going to be able to show that this is an evolved, professional organization,” Boehly said. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Faced with an industry-wide shunning that cut off its lifeblood of star power, the 96-member organization added six Black journalists last year — it previously had none — and brought in 103 nonmember international voters to diversify its ranks. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Industry critics long complained that the association exerted outsize influence in the awards ecosystem and that its members behaved inappropriately and unprofessionally at exclusive HFPA news conferences, too often snubbing talent of color. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Over months of meetings between the HFPA and talent publicists — more than 100 of whom had banded together to boycott the organization after the Times investigation — relations have slowly thawed. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“I am optimistic they will continue to work and honor the trust and support the industry is showing by supporting this year’s Globes,” said Kelly Bush Novak, chief executive and founder of ID Public Relations, who had helped spearhead the boycott. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“The Globes are a marketing tool — that is the value of the #GoldenGlobes as a brand,” said one publicist who requested anonymity.
