The Golden Globes ritual this Sunday may prompt the usual groans in some circles, but it will also trigger some elegant paydays.
Hollywood always seems at once apologetic and celebratory about the Globes, but the 87 journalists who annually cast their votes are smiling, not apologizing. That’s because they’re allegedly divvying up millions of dollars to reward their participation in one of the industry’s most enduring business schemes.
A sprawling exposé in the Los Angeles Times greets this weekend’s Globes – a probe that details the paydays scored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association fraternity in its annual upstaging of the Oscars. Globes voters, we are told, are paid an additional $2.15 million above and beyond their journalistic salaries (if any) to serve on various association “committees.”
Other perks come their way including glitzy overseas trips donated by producing entities. Some voters may be content to watch a series...
