  • The Golden Globes organization announced Friday it would no longer pay the $75,000 annual salary awarded to former Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) members, the group who votes on the yearly film and TV award winners TheWrap has learned.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has decided to terminate the $75,000 annual salaries for its members who vote for the Golden Globe Awards, as part of a broader overhaul of the organization. This decision comes in the wake of significant criticism and a boycott by Hollywood studios and publicists due to the HFPA's lack of diversity and ethical issues. The move to end these payments, which were intended to compensate members for their time and expenses related to voting, is part of a strategy to transform the HFPA into a for-profit entity under new ownership, aiming to restore credibility and inclusivity to the awards. This change also reflects the HFPA's response to the broader industry's push for reform in how awards are managed and voted upon.
