The 2022 Golden Globes will not be televised, and former members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — the group behind the awards — say the defected because of bad behavior within the organ…
Diederik van Hoogstraten, a former member of the HFPA, called the group “like the mafia … Nobody can be seen with them.”
Van Hoogstraten said the HFPA had become a bloated, self-important group with as many as 30 committees filled with self-dealing members who were paid for little if any work. “I was told by my sponsor that when I got in, other members were laughing at him,” Xu said. “They were like, ‘Oh, she must have given you a blow job in order to get in.'”
But at the same time, members — the older ones especially, van Hoogtstratten and Xu said — became so arrogant that they didn’t even try to hide their bad behavior.“I’ve been in a room with with elderly members calling each other ‘b—h’ and saying ‘shut the f–k up,'” van Hoogstraten said. “And this is sometimes in front of talent. [Actors] see people pushing each other out of the way fighting for the best seat in the house, pushing each other to make sure you get to the buffet.
Members called the two “rats” and “a cancer” and said “good riddance” in internal emails afterwards, van Hoogstraten said.AFP via Getty Images Asked if they would consider re-joining the HFPA in the future, both said they were skeptical that the association can change.
