Director Spike Lee is calling on the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. to do the right thing when it comes to diversifying its voting body for the Golden Globes. “However, it’s been a joy to watch our children Satchel and Jackson serve as the ambassadors to the Golden Globes. Advertisement“I had never heard of Golden Globe Ambassadors and then I had never heard this is the first time the Golden Globes was having [sibling] ambassadors of color either,” Lee previously told The Times of his kids’ groundbreaking achievement. For example, critically acclaimed films directed by and starring Black artists — such as “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Judas and the Black Messiah” and Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” — were excluded from the best-picture race.
