Switching to a for-profit model could bring on new ethical problems for this beleaguered Hollywood enterprise.
Following years of turbulence and controversy, the organization behind the Golden Globe Awards is set to move forward as a for-profit company.members who live and work in the U.S., mostly as freelance journalists for foreign media outlets, will now become employees of the for-profit company making $75,000 a year . They will be paid to do the stuff they did for free in the past — screen movies and TV shows and nominate and vote for entertainers in the various Globes categories.
There’s something unseemly about a Globes voter getting paid to write for the Globes website about an actor that they may end up nominating for a Golden Globe award to be given out on the stage of a show owned by the company they work for. Will the company executives urge voters to nominate high-profile stars and directors in hopes that they will show up? The new model appears to be one giant public relations machine.
