Within the group, there has been infighting over how to reform and how to respond to its critics. But there also continues to be genuine bafflement about how things escalated to this point, as well as mounting anger that the clubby organization has become the focus of Hollywood’s struggles over diversity.
Several also noted that a coalition of over 100 Hollywood publicity firms — which have led the charge against the HFPA — do not have particularly diverse staffs either.The publicists’ group countered that the HFPA members are avoiding the real issues, which go beyond the lack of Black voters.
The publicists’ coalition did not divulge its own diversity statistics, but did acknowledge that firms must take steps to hire more people of color and members of marginalized communities. “You have to give it a chance,” she said. “The local paper has to give it a chance, which they haven’t. Give it a chance… I think we did do something good.”
She added that few publications from smaller countries are willing to pay for original reporting on Hollywood, since they can get wire stories for $20 or $30. Many news organizations prohibit employees from accepting travel and gifts from companies they cover, but those restrictions don’t apply to all outlets. However, people familiar with the HFPA say that the group’s members didn’t just have a thirst for freebies and a penchant for studio-sponsored buffets. They also had a habit of appearing unprepared at press conferences or making comments to talent that were seen as inappropriate, even occasionally ones that bordered on sexual harassment.
HFPA finally has consequences after years of complaints and they are like:
All these awards shows now are garbage. Left wing bitch fest
They and their all-white membership can always stream their little awards show on Facebook. goldenglobes
They should cancel their award shows that awards thankless Hollywood and do award shows in my great country of Russia instead
It's time to abolish the Golden Globes and HFPA. Award shows are over, have near 0 viewers and are institutions of outdated times.
Big 'we live in a society' energy.
When I think of the HFPA Pia Zadora comes to mind, which pretty much sums up what they’re all about in terms of importance. For those who aren’t familiar with the reference, Google it. GoldenGlobes
And they should have 18.5% Hispanic members. Come join us in 2021.
HFPA isn't gonna survive this, is it?
'Political Correctness' is the same bullshit Republicans used until they lost the culture wars. Now it's 'Cancel Culture' and everything is 'woke'.
good ol' procrustean method...
Or fairness?
Political correctness? They've still got a looong way to go.
Emily in Paris Case closed.
That’s their statement? Seems like self awareness is missing.
Man to hell with the Globes. Corrupt ass bitches
Should read 'Maybe as an organization we were RACIST.'
Oh well....
