About the Golden Globes:
Each year the members are required to present recent by-lined articles for continued active status and participation in the association’s activities which include more than two hundred annual interview opportunities with leading actors, directors and writers working in motion pictures and television. There are also set visits, participation in press days in other cities within (and occasionally outside) the U.S. as well as film festivals in other countries where one important duty of those attending is to scout for interesting foreign language films to screen for HFPA members; another is to establish cultural exchanges with directors, actors, jurors and fellow journalists around the world.
In order to vote on the association’s annual awards, the Golden Globes, members are seeing the well over 250 domestic films released each year along with foreign language films, motion pictures made for television, and prime time television series. At monthly membership meetings, issues concerning the association are discussed and decided. Election of officers and board of directors is held once a year, and at the yearly installation luncheon, scholarships and donations are given to other nonprofit groups and educational institutions.
During the past 11 years, the HFPA has awarded more than $5.5 million in grants.
