The HFPA says the voting body now represents a total of 76 countries, including international voters from newly added countries such as Cameroon, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Serbia and Tanzania. According to the organization, 58 percent of the voting body is now diverse, and the new ethnic breakdown is as follows: 25 percent Latinx, 14 percent Asian, 10 percent Black, 9 percent Middle Eastern and 42 percent White.
The organization revealed that the voting body for the 80th Golden Globes consisted of 200 voters with 52 percent self-identifying as ethnically diverse. As part of its efforts to be more transparent, the HFPA also revealed that criteria for international voters residing outside the U.S. should include possessing verified entertainment journalistic clippings for international media outlets including print, broadcast, radio, photography and online.
“The efforts put forth to identify, engage, and actively recruit diverse voters is strong evidence of the commitment by the Golden Globes to follow through on its promises to expand and reshape itself,” said Neil Phillips, the HFPA’s chief diversity officer. “It shows that with the right leadership, effective community partnerships and an unwavering focus, we can achieve remarkable and transformational diversity growth.
