Euskaraz irakurri: Hollywoodeko Atzerriko Pressaren Elkarteak Urrezko Globoak saldu eta desegin egin da
Producers Dick Clark Prods. (DCP) and Eldridge Industries today announced the purchase of the exploitation rights to the Golden Globes, film awards that have had a long history of controversy since 2021, from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
The transfer will mean the dissolution of the institution that founded these awards in 1943.
The new administrators will be in charge of managing the annual Golden Globes ceremony. The 81st edition is scheduled for Sunday, January 7, 2024.
The 2023 Golden Globes marked the return of these awards to television after the non-televised 2022 ceremony, amid controversy over the lack of African-American representation among HFPA members.
A year earlier, an investigation by the newspaper Los Angeles Times revealed that the association had engaged in alleged crimes of corruption and influence peddling when choosing its winners, which caused actors such as Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo to return their prizes.
