The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will be dissolved as the Golden Globes move to a new organization.
The Golden Globes have been freed from the shackles of the Hollywood Foreign Press, following the news that Dick Clark Productions and Elridge had acquired all of the Golden Globes' assets, rights and properties from the corrupt organisation. As a result of these developments, the HFPA and its questionable membership base, will no longer functioning and as such, will dissolve with immediate effect.
In the official statement, it was added that the 81st edition of the Golden Globe Awards are scheduled for Sunday, January 7, 2024. However, the event currently lacks a broadcast partner following the conclusion of the show's longstanding contract with NBC. Negotiations have taken place with various outlets, including NBC.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The HFPA, which had been marred by a string of controversies, had become a toxic brand and their dissolution is good news for those working within the entertainment industry. After a non-televised ceremony in 2022 due to the controversy surrounding the HFPA's lack of diversity, the 2023 Golden Globe Awards made a comeback to television. However, the ceremony was viewed by an all-time low of 6.3 million viewers.
Disturbing behaviour on the part of notable individuals, too, have raised alarm and called into question the ethical stance of choosing to attend the awards and indeed, by doing so, validating them as legitimate in their own right. In 2018, actor Brendan Fraser accused Philip Berk, the eight-time president of the HFPA, of sexually assaulting him in 2003, leading to the actor being blacklisted by Hollywood after suffering a breakdown.
Around that time, the HFPA initiated an internal inquiry and concluded that the incident happened - but was intended as a joke, yet chose not to disclose the investigator's findings to Fraser. Instead, they requested Fraser's endorsement of a collective statement. Fraser, quite rightly, refused. The actor also made the decision not to attend this year's ceremony, where he was nominated for Best Actor in a Dramatic Film.
