Who really gives out the Golden Globes? A tiny group full of quirky characters — and no Black members

A foreign journalist sued Golden Globes organizer Hollywood Foreign Press Association, alleging the group acted like a cartel. A federal judge disagreed and tossed the suit.

Rejected applicants and current members both claim that well-credentialed foreign journalists have been turned away from the group out of concern that they would encroach on members’ professional turf. Foreign entertainment journalists who have attempted to join the HFPA, in some cases multiple times, described concerted efforts by existing members to block prospects who might compete with them, subjecting them, according to Flaa’s suit, to “character assassination attacks and dirty smear campaign[s].” HFPA said Flaa’s claims are “entirely false,” while acknowledging that the group has at times “undertaken disciplinary actions for such behaviors.

While working as the Hollywood correspondent for the leading French newspaper Le Monde in the 1990s, Claudine Mulard was rejected from the organization three times, with no reason given.

Another ratings disaster about to happen.

As a Londoner, I LOVE diversity and multiculturalism. But when organisations use it to try and look progressive and caring, like HFPA - it's disgusting. Using the addition of black journalists to try and distract from the elitism and history of sexual abuse allegations is gross.

Who cares about a bunch of famous rich ppl slapping each other on the back and congratulating themselves. Wow. You can lie really well! Now please lecture us little people in your acceptance speech.😜🖕🏻🫵🏻🤦🏼‍♀️

🏆

latimes, you are disgusting...Latimes is in a city and state which has about 40+% of its gen pop made up of latinos but on '7 major tv networks', you rarely see a latino nor asian. but you will see a massive nbr of blacks ( 25%), or about TWICE THE % THAT THEY ARE IN GEN POP.

We’ve known this for some time. If we aren’t going to do anything about changing the Golden Globes landscape, we really need to stop reporting on it as if this is groundbreaking news. I, for one, would like to see an article confronting the membership on how they will change.

Which implies the absence of a black personality automatically assumes a racist agenda.

Hollywood is racist.

The ratings for the awards shows are plummeting. Soon, almost no one, except those who worked on those shows, will be watching.

Jewish people. That’s who.

Its about ability, not race or gender. Stop being racist.

It’s not about having Black members exactly. It’s about global perspectives on film, TV, and Hollywood generally. Given the work in film being done in Lagos and Nairobi it seems like they could do some targeted recruitment.

I look to the day when every aspect of an issue is not defined by race.

More good news please(((

i am playing the rassist card.

I want y’all you check out truforma and then go invest in stocker ticket $zom zomedica

Good stuff latimes

Golden Globes: HFPA Says 'We Understand That We Need to Bring in Black Members'Days ahead of the GoldenGlobes, the HFPA is vowing to do better after a scathing exposé about the organization's lack of diversity: 'We understand that we need to bring in Black members, as well as members from other underrepresented backgrounds' This is a farce of an organization. They don’t even want their own whites, let alone, black writers. They don’t want to share their golden goose: they get showered with perks and “treats” from studios to award their movies. 🙄 Geez caught on to the idea of inclusion in the year 2021👏👏👏 🏆
