The Golden Globe Awards are decided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a shady organization that consists of 87 members, none of whom are Black. âWith the power you have HFPA, you simultaneously hold a responsibility to ensure your constituency is fully reflective of the world in which we live. When you know better, you must do better. And having a multitude of Black presenters does not absolve you of your lack of diversity,â Golden Globe winner Sterling K. Brown wrote in response to a recent Los Angeles Times report. âThis is your moment to do the right thing. It is my hope that you will. #timesupglobes.â The HFPAâs lack of diversity also came up during Tina Fey and Amy Poehlerâs Globes monologue.
Fey said the organization is made up of â90 international no-Black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life.â Later, Poehler added, âThis is something we probably should have told you earlier, everyone is understandably upset at the HFPA and their choices. A lot of flashy garbage got nominated. But that happens, thatâs like their thing.â After the Parks and Recreation star noted that âa number of Black actors and Black-led projects were overlooked,â including Da 5 Bloods and Judas and the Black Messiah for Best Motion Picture â Drama, Fey added, âInclusivity is important and there are no Black members of the HFPA. I realize you didnât get the memo, HFPA, because your workplace is the back booth of a French McDonaldâs, but you gotta change that. So hereâs to changing it.â
