Hollywood Foreign Press Association


Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is an organization comprised of journalists who cover the United States film industry, but are affiliated with publications outside North America. The group is perhaps best known for the Golden Globe Awards, of which it is the creator and on-going organiser. The group was founded in 1943 by a correspondent for the Daily Mail, a UK newspaper. The chief aim was, and is, the dispersing of news about Hollywood to countries outside North America.
