HFPA Members Up for Awards

The HFPA is best known for giving out the Golden Globe awards. Now, six HFPA members have earned several nominations for awards of their own for their excellence in journalism.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave away the Golden Globe statuettes to well-deserving filmmakers and talent on January 9, 2022, and now, six HFPA members are up for a journalism award of their own.

The HFPA is no stranger to awards. At the end of 2021, HFPA member, Emmy Award-Winning journalist and senior entertainment reporter Kelley Carter was an Honoree for News and Journalism at the 6th Black Women in Media Awards.

Now, three HFPA members have been nominated for this year’s International Media Award at the 59th Annual ICG Publicists Awards. The announcement was made by Tim Menke and Sheryl Main, ICG Publicists Awards Chairs.

The HFPA nominees are current HFPA President Helen Hoehne, who works for German outlets ProSieben, RTL and TV Movie; Vera Anderson, who writes for the Mexican magazine Cine Premiere; and Yong Chavez, who works for the Philippines’ ABS-CBN News.

The final winners will be determined via online ballot voting by the general membership, which will be held from February 14-24, 2022. The 2022 ICG Publicists Award winners will be revealed during a luncheon ceremony on Friday, March 25, at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
