GOLDEN GLOBES CHANGES RULES: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association continues to tweak its rules for the Golden Globes amid coronavirus disruption. For now, HFPA is putting pause on the rule that foreign films must be released between October 1 and December 31 prior to the awards. Instead, films “that had a bona fide theatrical release planned to begin in their country of origin during the period from March 15 until a date to be determined by HFPA when cinemas in that country have generally reopened, may instead be released in any country in any format (e.g. a motion picture format such as in theatres or on pay-per-view or a television format such as subscription streaming service, subscription cable channel, broadcast television, etc.) and will still be eligible for the Golden Globe foreign-language motion picture awards.”
