As the Hollywood Foreign Press Agency remains under fire for their major lack in diversity among its serving members, the world’s attention is focusing on exactly what the agency is and how it came to exist.
What is the scandal about with HFPA?
The drama started back in February after the L.A. Times ran an article highlighting the lack of any Black members. The Time’s Up coalition, formed in response to the #MeToo movement to help prevent workplace gender discrimination and sexual misconduct, gave HFPA a detailed guidebook to follow in the wake of the scandal in order to ensure diversity needs are met.

Why do you keep chopping off your blog after three sentences? I get that you’re not a hit and run poster, but seriously, your blog is completely sourced from outside, so there is no reason at all to truncate it and force folks to go off of FR to read it. Just my opinion, my FRiend.
A small gesture from mega-wealthy, much-honored Cruise.
The virtue signalers, politically correct cowards, and equity madmen are demanding more diversity in our once united country.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” NBC said in a statement. “However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.

Several other major companies, including Amazon, Netflix, and WarnerMedia, plan to boycott the HFPA, which runs the Golden Globes.
