The Hollywood Foreign Press Association said in statement yesterday that an "action plan" is under development to admit black members. Former HFPA president Meher Tatna told Variety in an interview that the organisation hasn't had a black member in nearly two decades. An HFPA spokesperson said it welcomes the opportunity to meet with groups such as Time's Up and prospective black members who are interested in joining the organisation. The organisation says membership is majority female and more than 35 per cent of its members are from non-European countries across the world.
