Golden Globes have a big problem
It has to do with the diminished image of the award-winning Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). Just a few dozen hours before the broadcast of last year’s gala, the media heard information that since 1987 the association had not accepted a single new member who would not be white.
The fact that 87 members lack racial and ethnic diversity sparked environmental outrage. As a result, the HFPA announced in March that it would expand to 100 members by the end of 2021. According to their declarations, 13 percent. were supposed to be black people, in May there were further declarations of changes. However, these actions did not convince many people. NBC will not show the gala, the president of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, sent a letter in which he suspended the service’s cooperation with HFPA. . The actor went one step further than Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo, who issued statements urging the community to distance themselves from the Globes until the award-giving Hollywood Foreign Press Association makes the “necessary changes”.
Statuettes have been awarded since 1944. , we met in December last year. The former include not only hits from the United States, but also “Squid Game” from South Korea and the French “Lupine”. They were announced by the president of HFPA Helen Hoehne and – quite surprisingly – rapper Snoop Dogg.
