The Golden Globes has announced it will no longer pay its voting members a $75,000 salary, a move attributed to concerns over bias in the awards process. This decision affects 50 members formerly affiliated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which underwent significant changes following scandals in 2021. With a new structure and a broader voting body of 300 members from 85 countries, the Golden Globes seeks to align more closely with other major awards, like the Oscars and Grammys, which do not pay their voters.
