Golden Globes ending salaries for voting members

The Golden Globes will stop paying its voting members a salary of $75,000 annually. President Helen Hoehne announced this change during a meeting with about 50 members, who will receive a severance payment of $102,500. The decision aims to reduce perceptions of bias in voting. The voting body will now consist of unpaid members, similar to other major awards like the Oscars and Emmys. This change follows a series of reforms after the organization faced criticism for mismanagement and unethical conduct. The Globes returned to NBC in 2023 and signed a new deal with CBS for future broadcasts.
