Key Background

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has faced controversy in recent years. A 2021 Los Angeles Times expose revealed the organization had no Black members among its ranks, and alleged that some voters had received gifts from productions. Some celebrities and studios criticized the awards ceremony, and NBC ultimately decided it would not air the production for one year while the HFPA made changes. The 2022 ceremony aired online with minimal flair. The HFPA has since added over 100 new voters and hired a diversity officer. Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA, told Reuters that “very few” nominees were not planning on attending the ceremony—though actor Brendan Fraser has said he would not attend the show, after he previously accused a former president of the HFPA of groping him.
