OlderTina Fey & Amy Poehler Call Out HFPA for Having Zero Black Members During Opening Monologue
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are hosting the 2021 Golden Globes from opposite coasts right now.
It should come as no surprise that their monologue really brought the funny – but they did take the time to call out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. If you don’t know, it was revealed that the organization does not include a single black member.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of 90 international — no Black — journalists,” Tina said up top.
Later on in the monologue, Amy said, “A lot of flashy garbage got nominated, but that happens. That’s it’s thing. A number of Black actors and Black projects got overlooked.”
“The point is, even with stupid things, inclusivity is important. And there are no Black members of the Hollywood Foreign Press,” Tina said. “You gotta change that. So, here’s to changing it.”
Stay tuned as video becomes available…
Thank you Amy Poehler and Tina Fey for bringing the lack of representation in the HFPA to light. Real change must come #GoldenGlobes

I wholly approve of the first two awards! And of Tina + Amy not letting the HFPA off the hook.
This could be a long night… They absolutely can’t cut anyone’s zoom off, right? #GoldenGlobes
