The Golden Globes has decided to cease salary payments of $75,000 per year to its legacy voting members, approximately 50 former members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). This change, communicated to the members during a Zoom meeting by president Helen Hoehne, is intended to address perceptions of bias in the voting process. The decision comes following a corporate acquisition that transitioned the Globes into a for-profit entity. Affected members will receive severance pay according to their contracts. The goal is to ensure greater accountability and integrity in the organization's governance.
Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne conveyed that halting salaries for legacy voting members is meant to reduce perceptions of bias in voting, enhancing integrity.
Boehly emphasized the need for accountability, stating the elimination of payment to voting members helps prevent conflicts of interest ingrained in HFPA's previous practices.
