The additions bring the HFPA`s membership total to 105. Among the new members, nearly half are women and six are Black, according to an HFPA statement. 
 
A Los Angeles Times investigation published in February found the group had no Black people among its 87 members. The newspaper also raised long-standing ethical questions over the close relationships between the HFPA and movie studios that may influence the choice of Golden Globe nominees and winners.

The outcry that followed prompted broadcaster NBC to cancel its 2022 broadcast of the Golden Globes. 
 
The HFPA promised a series of reforms including diversifying its membership rolls and prohibiting members from accepting gifts. With the new members, 18 of the total identify as Asian, 12 as Latino and nine as Middle Eastern. 
 
The group plans to expand its membership further in 2022 and hopes to revive the awards show in 2023.

Golden Globes group adds new members as it works to diversify

The organisers of the Golden Globes on Friday banned its members from receiving gifts and free trips from movie studios and TV networks seeking to clinch awards for their shows and stars. 
 
The reforms, approved by members of the small Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), are among a raft of changes to the organization following an uproar over ethical practices and lack of diversity that led to the 2022 Golden Globes ceremony being cancelled. 
 
The HFPA said in a statement that under the new policies on conflicts of interest, members "shall not be permitted to accept promotional materials or other gifts from studios, publicists, actors, directors or others associated with motion pictures and television programmes."

Television network NBC in May dropped its broadcast of the January 2022 Golden Globes ceremony - one of the biggest awards shows in Hollywood - after an industry backlash over questionable practices. HFPA members were also accused of making sexist and racist remarks to celebrities at promotional events. 
 
Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globe statuettes as part of the revolt and media companies, including Netflix, Amazon Studios, and WarnerMedia, said they would no longer work with the HFPA unless it made far-reaching changes.

The HFPA has since embarked on reforms that range from a pledge to recruit Black members, appointing diversity consultants and setting up a hotline for grievances. 
 
"With these updates, our members have completed virtually all of the reforms agreed upon in May," the HFPA statement said. 
 
NBC said in May that if the organization carries out all its promised changes it hopes to air the Golden Globes show again in January 2023.
