Golden Globes journalist group to be dissolved as awards taken private

The scandal-hit association of foreign journalists that created the Golden Globes will be wound down as the Hollywood award show is formally purchased by private investors including US billionaire Todd Boehly, it was announced Monday.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- a group of around 100 entertainment writers with links to overseas publications -- has handed out the Globes to A-list film and television stars for the past eight decades.

The nonmember voting body for the Golden Globes has already been expanded and diversified beyond the group in recent years. A mixture of HFPA members and entertainment writers outside of the HFPA currently choose the winners. The Golden Globes were originally set up by Los Angeles-based foreign correspondents covering the entertainment industry in the 1940s.
