The group behind the Golden Globe Awards has said it is committed to immediate “transformational change” and reforms amid heightened scrutiny around its membership and practices. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) said in a statement that it would focus on adding black and other under-represented members to its organisation in addition to increasing transparency around its operations. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler called for change on the broadcast, as did award winners on the night, including Jane Fonda and Dan Levy. Three HFPA members took to the stage during the show to acknowledge the controversy. Time’s Up president and CEO Tina Tchen said that “the clock is ticking”.
