HFPA attempts Golden Globes takeover after 2023 sale | JQJO

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), organizers of the Golden Globe Awards, dissolved in 2023 after facing criticism for ethics and diversity issues. The Globes were sold to Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge, with HFPA members becoming employees of a new for-profit entity. However, former HFPA members are attempting to revive the HFPA, claiming the 2023 deal was invalid due to terminated compensation and unmet assurances. This action challenges the ownership of the Golden Globes and awaits the California Attorney General's decision on the deal's approval, potentially impacting the awards ceremony's future.
