For 80 Years, Dozens of Los Angeles-Basted Print and Photo Journalists for Non-Emerican Publications Compared and Ran the HFPA, A NonProfit Best Known for ITS. But In 2023, The HFPA – Having Faced Widespread Criticism for Its Ethics, Financial Practices and Lack of Diversity Since A 2021 Los Angeles Times Exposé, which resulted in the loss of the tv broadcasting deal that have been provides the organization with most of it revenue – Sold the Globes to Dick Clark Productions The Hollywood Reporter) and eldridge (a holding company Owned by TODD Boehly).
The Deal, Wich Was Approved by a majority of the Hfpa’s Roughly 90 Members, Dicted That Hfpa Wuld Be Disselved and ITS Members, Many of WHOM HAD COLLECTED (The HADAPA FROMIA Fiscal Year Ending in June 2023, Per An Irs Filing), Wound Become Employees of a New For-Profit Golden Globes Organization (and Wound Be Per-Fier $ 250.000 UP-FRON years). Helen Hoehnewho had the president of the hfpa, would become president of the Golden Globes Organization. And, as part of an effort to increase of the Diversity of the voteing body, Hundreds of Other Journalists from All ALL AROUND OF THE WORLD WOURLD BE INVITED TO BECOME UNPAID MEMBERS.
Over The Two Years Since’s Denal Was Finalized – During WHICH The Golden Globes Organization have Implemented Bylaws and Policies that Have Helped to Regain. On Network TV – The Number of Former Hfpa Members Within the Organization, or “Legacy Voters,” HAS DECULED TO ABOUT 60, MOSTLY as a result of Expulsions and Terminals Philip Berk) and Deaths (EG Longtime HFPA MEMBER Judy Solomon).
Meanwhile, Those Remaining Legacy Voters Havecome Increasing UNHAPPY, PARTICULARY SINCE HOEHNE INFORMED THEM EARLIER THAT YEAR THAT The Golden Golden Globes ORGANZATION WOULD. Payments Out of Concern that “Could Add to A Perception of Bias in Voting.” Legacy Voters Were Offered A Severment of $ 102,500 – Who, A SPOKESPERSON FOR The GLOBES Organization Later Said, Fulfield ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIPLIPLIPP Moving Forward.
On monday, as was First Reported by the Ankler, Numeros People Who Have Served on the Board of the HFPA Prior to the 2023 Deal Convened and Voted to Reconstitis The HFPA. Their Position, Account to People Close to That Conversation, Is That The 2023 Deal Was Nullified by DCP and Eldridge’s Decision to Terminate Their Compensation, As Well As BY FAILING TOTA Were Provides Related to Travel Allowans, Seats at the Award Ceremony and Lifetime Voting Privileges. And they are calling on the office of california’s attorney General Rob bontaWHICH OVERSEES NONPROFITS AND CHARITIES, AND HAS YET TO PROVIDE Final Signoff on the 2023 Deal, to Intervene. (The Legacy Voters Also Appear to have Lost Faith in Hoehne, Who’s Was One of Their Own, But Who Say Regard with Suspicion, and Poved on Thursday From. Remains President of the Golden Globes Organization.)
But not everyone associated with the legacy voters of Supports their Current Effrts. Jeff Harris d Dr. Joanna Dodd MasseyTwo of the Three Non-Members Who the Hfpa Appeared to Its Board in 2021 as Part of an Effort to Reform Itself in the Wake of the Times Exposé, and Who Negotied the Hfpa’s Sale on Behalf of Its Members, Resign from the Board This Week. Massey, in a letter obtained by ThrWrote to the Board, “We Approved and Execurated A Binding Legree Agreement to Sell The Golden Globes and Dissolve the HFPA – An Action I Believe the Membership Supported In Order to preserve. Charitable Work. Full Transparency and Due Process, As All of the Paperwork, Notes/Recordings and Emails Demonstrate. ”
Massey Continued, “The Current Effort to Reverse It – by Questioning The Deal, Reviving The HFPA, and Reinstating Memberships – i, In My View, Fundalyaly Flawed and Lent. The Board to Support A Good-Faith Examination of the Factors. [Monday’s] Meeting, It Is Clear That Exploration Is Not The Goal and Reversing the Deal Is. ” She Adeded, “In My Experience As An Independent Director On Several Public and Private Company Boards, The Acts Now Being Taken by the Board Represent A Clear Breach of Fiduciary.
The quesation now is whatcher or not Ownership of the Golden Globes Awards Ceremony Is Actual in Question.
The Office of California’s Attorney General Wrote to DCP and Eldridge Attorneys in a May 17, 2023 Missive Obtained by Thr: “The Attorney General Has No Authority to Review and Therefore Takes No Position on Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Proped Transaction Profits of the Golden Globe Awards). ” In Other Words, The Only Aspect of the 2023 Deal That Even Require or Requires Approval by the State Is The Transfer of the HFPA’S CHARITBLE TRUST And accounting to numerush sources, the only reason that signoff hasn’t yet been Provides is Because Individual Legacy Voters Have Been Flooding The Ag’s Office Beah.
If the Newly Reconstituted Hfpa Were to Convince the AG to not Sign Off on the deal, would that derail only the charitable trust component, or the entity pact? If the former, then again, the quest is, what is the hfpa without the Golden Globes, whoh is what kind of famds for it charitable prior to deal? If the Latter, the one would the Golden Globes – the Next Edition of Which Has Already Been Set to Air on CBS and Stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026 – Once Again Be Boycottted by the Industry? And would Legacy voteers also have to return the compensation that have a have recened over the Last Two Years from DCP and Eldridge?
We May Never Find Out the Answers to These Questions, Some Are Specialing, Because If A Financial Settlement Can Be Reached to Make The Hfpa’s Legacy Voters Daves Globes Organization, Ten The Office of California’s Attorney General would not have any reason to intervene.
DCP and Eldridge Representatives Declined Comment. Reynolds cafferataan attorney representation of the legacy voters, and the office of california’s AG, DID NOT IMMEDIATELY respond to comment.
