 HFPA - About the HFPA
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known worldwide for its glittering Golden Globe awards ceremony held every January and its multi-million dollar donations to charity; but its origins were humble and stemmed solely from a group of journalists' desire to efficiently and accurately cover all aspects of the world of entertainment.
The idea was not a new one: previously, in 1928 the Hollywood Association of Foreign Correspondents (HAFCO) had been formed and, in 1935, the Foreign Press Society appeared.
The two associations existed side by side and frequently interacted until 1955 when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association became the sole body, consisting of working journalists from both groups, with firm guidelines and requirements for membership.

Hollywood certainly doesn't, because this year, more than ever, it latched on to the Golden Globes with a vengence and used them to strategically place their front runners for this year's Oscar race and hopefully boost the box office along the way.
Hollywood has created the monster and only when it bites the hand that feeds it, which it nearly did this year with a rather strange selection of award winners, will the studios finally come clean and admit it was all an illusion of their own making.
The real foreign journalists covering Hollywood, like myself, continue to look on from the side line in bemusement with little or no chance of ever getting aboard the freebie gravy train as normally fewer than two new members are admitted each year, and only when approved by the existing membership.
