The embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association has admitted its largest-ever class of new members. The 21 recruits cap the group’s six-month process of reforms amid a “commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
The new group is a diverse one, with 48% identifying as women, 29% as Black, 24% as Asian, 29% identify as Latinx and 19% as Middle Eastern/North African. See the list below.
“We are thrilled to welcome these new members into our family,” said HFPA President Helen Hoehne. “We are building a new organization, one that is not focused on fulfilling quotas, but instead has diversity and inclusion at its core, has ethical conduct as the norm, and has people of color involved in every aspect of the Association — from membership to executive leadership. That is how we’re growing an inclusive environment, and for us to make this much progress in six months is a testament to our membership and our dedication to building something better.
