Los Angeles, California - In a new tactic to save the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has now added 103 new international, nonmember voters to its ranks to weigh in on the awards.

It's "action" time for a Hollywood Hail Mary.

This brings the total number of Globes voters to 200 and represents the latest move by the embattled group as it works to reengage with Hollywood. The HFPA is seeking to resume its perch in awards shows status with a broadcast on NBC in time for its 80th anniversary next year.

While these individuals represent the largest voting body in the HFPA's history, they will not be full members of the organization. The HFPA amended its bylaws to create a new voter category within the group.

"The bylaws only allowed us to bring members within the US in order to expand the voting body that everybody asked us to do more rapidly,'" said HFPA spokesman James Lee.

The new group representing 62 countries includes individuals from Latin American, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, with the largest, 43.5%, hailing from Europe.

According to the HFPA, the new set of voters were recruited from international industry organizations, as well as from outreach efforts among foreign film festivals and other professional journalists.

"It was clear we had to find new opportunities to bring in additional voters to ensure the continued diversification and growth in the voting body," said Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA in a statement.

The new voting body is the latest move by the group to broaden and diversify its roster that considers Golden Globes nominees and winners.

The HFPA received widespread criticism after a Los Angeles Times investigation brought to light allegations of financial and ethical lapses and pointed out that not one of the HFPA's then-87 members was Black.

NBC pulled the plug on the 2022 Golden Globes broadcast after Netflix cut ties with the organization "until more meaningful changes are made." In January, it held a stripped down ceremony that was not broadcast, as winners were announced on social media.

Last year, the HFPA added 21 new members, six of whom are Black, and a chief diversity officer.

The new international voters will be subject to the group's code of conduct. Their applications were reviewed by the HFPA's credential committee, which is comprised of both HFPA members and independent journalists and entertainment professionals.

To date, the HFPA has yet to open applications for full membership to US-based journalists.

As part of the organization's reform process, it created a nonvoting emeritus status among some longstanding members, who were no longer active journalists. However, the emeritus group's status recently changed to allow members to vote.

The HFPA also recently sold its assets to interim CEO Todd Boehly, transforming the tax-exempt organization into a for-profit venture.
