After a Times report exposing the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.'s use of the Globes as a cash and perks cow, it's hard to know how to cover the awards.

The organization said the perception that many members are not serious journalists is “outdated and unfair” and that it is committed to addressing the lack of Black members.Advertisement

Studios and streamers do not have special awards teams, and awards budgets, just because it’s fun to get dressed up for a couple of nights. The longer everyone has to plug their project, the more For Your Consideration ads the studios will buy. Which is why so many media outlets that a decade or so ago snootily eschewed hyped-up awards coverage now have special sections with fancy pull-out covers, awards correspondents, photo booths, red carpet reporters and all manner of awards-centric video projects.

THIS THIS THIS! “Please don’t tell people to 'rise above,' 'just move on, it was a long time ago,' 'get over it' and 'forgive and forget' abusive experiences.
