Cheryl Boone Isaacs, Yusef Jackson Take on HFPA Chief Todd Boehly for Self-Dealing in Explosive Letter to Members (Exclusive)

end the HFPA’s non-profit status and essentially buy out the current 102 members, making them profit participants in the lucrative Golden Globes telecast. The intention would be to expand the voting pool by another 200 voters, while not conferring membership status on those new voters, according to TheWrap’s reporting. The letter criticized this to the members as looking to “cozy up and offer to buy you out…for nothing, with a 3-year termination,” a reference to Boehly’s proposal. Jackson and Boone Isaacs are offering an alternative, and reached out to individual HFPA members earlier this week to explain their plan.
Although it has not been detailed, the letter sent to members referred to offering members a role “as equity participants in PCE, so that we take risks and build value together.” This plan would also create an “endowment fund to support the efforts of the Hollywood foreign correspondents well into the future.”According to the letter, Boone Isaacs and Jackson would take over the Golden Globes for two consecutive 10-year terms, ”after which the rights revert back to you, the members and the HFPA.”It is unclear how much traction this proposal has among the HFPA members. Critics say that Boehly has a clear conflict of interest in his role as interim CEO, since he also owns the production company that produces the Golden Globes telecast, MRC, which takes half of the $60 million licensing fee from NBC. Boehly denies having a conflict of interest. TheWrap previously reported on this issue late last year, along with reporting in December that Boehly planned to take the HFPA private.
