The organizers of the “Golden Globe” on the eve of the ceremony were in the center of the scandal

Hollywood Foreign Press Associationwhich organizes Golden Globe, got into the center of the scandal after two new articles in Los Angeles Times
The organization includes about 80 members, many of whom are practically unknown to the general public. The accusations against the association emerged last November, when Norwegian press spokeswoman Kjersti Flaa said the organization was promoting a “culture of corruption.” This happened after they refused to accept her into the association.

Recent accusations globally concern two topics – the same corruption and ethical issues. Many did not like the absence of projects among the nominees for the Golden Globe, which were praised by other publications – in the spirit of “I can destroy you” and “Five of the same blood”… At the same time, the list contains things that are dubious for many, like “Emily in Paris”

The Association is accused not only of lack of support for racial issues and projects on this topic, but also of playing “favorites”. According to the articles, in the process of creation “Emily in Paris” about 30 members of the organization were taken on a special plane for a press event straight to France.

In addition, despite charitable work and donations, the association pays out to its members unclear amounts that, in theory, could be contrary to US tax laws. Recently, participants have received about $ 2 million in payments for participation in various committees, which is twice as much as three years ago.

According to one of the anonymous respondents, money is simply sucked out of the organization under the guise of noble motives. One of the sources of income just remains the “Globe” ceremony, which in the last year alone brought in $ 27.4 million.

Representatives of the association deny the accusations, noting that they do not control the votes of their own members. In the meantime, the next awards ceremony will be held on February 28th.
