The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) promises to do better.

While the association which organizes the Golden Globes is criticized for lacking in diversity, it is high time to hire new people.

And for good reason: of the 87 members of the HFPA, none is black, according to a recent investigation by the

Los Angeles Times

.

“We are fully committed to ensuring that our members are a reflection of the communities around the world who love film, television and the artists who inspire and educate them.

We understand that we need to appeal to black members, as well as members from other under-represented backgrounds, and we will immediately work to implement a plan of action to achieve these goals as soon as possible ” , a spokesperson for the association told Sky News.

Can do better

The HFPA selection had been heavily criticized when the nominations were announced for critically acclaimed series and films (like

 Michaela Coel's

I May Destroy You

, or Spike Lee's latest film,

Da 5 Bloods

).

The 

LA Times

even evoked a culture of “corruption”, which would have favored certain programs unanimously judged “less good”, like

Emily in Paris

.

The post suggests that the production of the Netflix series has invited some members of the HFPA to the French capital to visit the film set.

Despite unenthusiastic reviews,

Emily in Paris

was a hit for Netflix… and garnered two Golden Globe nominations.

Although the HFPA has denied being influenced outright, claiming that this type of invitation does not change its decision-making process, the winners of the 78th ceremony remain predominantly white.

Despite the victories of Chloe Zhao (second woman and Asian to win Best Director for

Nomadland

) or Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, Andra Day, and a posthumous award for Chadwick Boseman this year, it will require major changes to it. next year to appease the critics.
