Reforming the fast, loose, pocket stuffing elders of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has proven to be nigh on impossible over the decades.

The terrible ratings of the 2021 pandemic Gloves should have made this a no brainer. They have all the leverage, why didn’t they do better than they did with Trump, Matt Lauer and other network scandals over the years?

Stay tuned.
