...That's how the Foreign Press Association member do things. For its Best Original Song - Motion Picture slot, they rounded up five folks not primarily associated with movie songwriting: Clint Eastwood, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen. Critics in other groups may scratch their heads at the inclusion of this category, and especially of this year's honorees. The HFPA just sees it as another way to put famous fannies. The real critics groups have the freedom to honor their preferred films, whether hits or cult items; but the Globers have a sterner agenda. What matters...

Nice try, Disney, but you can’t pull the fur over these eyes, and I felt no love tonight. 4. Bambi and Faline—As Bambi watches over Faline and their fawns...
...year later the new group bestowed its first set of awards. During an informal ceremony at 20th Century Fox, The Song of Bernadette was named "Best Film," and its star, Jennifer Jones, "Best Actress." The following year marked the group's first gala social event, when Leo McCarey's Going My Way was named the best film of 1944. In 1950, the organization split momentarily into two competing groups - the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association and the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood. By the time these factions reunited as the HFPA in 1955, the Golden Globes looked very much as they...
