Is this about the Golden Globes accepting money as bribes for awards or what I am trying to look this up right now too. Quotes below are from this article: ... The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of 87 international journalists who vote on the awards, has come under fire after the Los Angeles Times published two damning exposĂŠs on both the questionable credentials of members and the ease at which they are reportedly courted by studios. The non-profit organisation has been accused of âethical lapsesâ with members reportedly flown to Paris in support of the Netflix comedy Emily in Paris, which received two nominations, while also being paid nearly $2m by the group between 2019 and 2020. The lack of diversity (there isnât a single black member) has also been criticised in a year when a number of black performances, films and shows have been ignored. Michaela Coelâs universally acclaimed drama I May Destroy You failed to secure a single nomination while One Night in Miami, Judas and the Black Messiah, Da 5 Bloods and Ma Raineyâs Black Bottom were all ignored in the best picture category. ... The LA Times investigation comes soon after a lawsuit was filed against the HFPA by the Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa, who was denied membership and accused them of a âculture of corruptionâ with members accepting âthousands of dollars in emolumentsâ from studios and celebrities. The suit was dismissed by a judge, partly because Flaa could not prove any economic or professional hardship as a result. âĄđ˛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
