Golden Globes ends its policy of paying an annual salary of $ 75,000 for former members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who vote at the annual honors of the organization and television.
The move comes at a time when the former HFPA members were for one year in a five -year deal, reached in June 2023 between the group and its new owners, Bensky Media Eldridge. Within the agreement, the basic annual salary of $ 75,000 was appointed to the newly -shaped voters in the newly formed organization after being members of HFPA, formerly the title of the Globes voting body before this new acquisition.

The axis to stop pushing these voters match the traditional Pro Bono protocol to the events of other major awards, such as the Academy Awards, Emiz and Grammy, which does not provide compensation for their membership.
Since Globes entered the position of crises in 2021, amid severe criticism of the lack of diversity between its isolated membership, the organization has undergone a comprehensive reform. What was one day the non -profit HFPA is now Golden Globes LLC for profit. (The project is owned diverse Penske Media Corporation.) As part of the transformation and rehabilitation of awards, the new system expanded voters for the balls from less than 100 to about 300 – most of them do not pay for their services. But as part of the transition from HFPA to Golden Globes, some HFPA members were found and brought under a five -year contract in 2023.
The Hoehne meeting was held with about 50 former HFPA members who voted at the last Globes party held on January 5. Voters are also invited to re -apply every year.
A spokesman for Golden Globes describes the change in politics as “a recognition that continuing to push members can add to the perception of the vote.” The spokesperson also stated that Globe was “fully fulfilled her contractual obligations towards voters by providing service.”
The news of the Globes policy changed for the first time was reported by Hollywood Reporter.
