Members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association took a moment at tonight's Golden Globes ceremony to address the fact that it has no Black members and has not had a single one for two decades. "We must have Black journalists in our organization," representatives from the HFPA said during the televised broadcast.
In the days leading up to the ceremony, a
Los Angeles Timesinvestigation found that none of the HFPA's 87 members are Black. And in a recent report from
Variety, board chair and former president Meher Tatna confirmed that the group, which votes on Golden Globe nominees and winners, has not had a Black member since she joined in 2002.
