The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was a nonprofit organization of journalists and photographers who reported on the American entertainment industry for predominantly foreign media markets.[4][5] It is best known for founding and conducting the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, California, which honors notable achievements in film and television, from its inception in 1943 until 2023.[6][5] The HFPA consisted of about 105 members from approximately 55 countries with a combined following of more than 250 million.[7][8]

HFPA was rebranded to Golden Globe Foundation on June 12, 2023.[1]
