Golden Globes: Australian HFPA Member Says Black Representation "Not Really Anything We Focused On"
The controversy over the lack of Black representation at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the body that organizes the Golden Globe Awards, rumbles on as an Australian HFPA member admitted that the organization did not see the lack of Black journalists as a "problem" and that the body was previously not really "focused" on upping Black representation. In an interview on the Australian morning show Today Australia, HFPA member Jenny Cooney was asked directly about the controversy and why, given the global discussion over the issue of Black and minority representation over the last year, the organization had not looked to change the makeup of its members before this year's Golden Globes ceremony.
