Golden Globes 2021: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler poke fun at HFPA's lack of diversity; Kerry Washington applauds them

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler proved to be the ultimate dynamic duo right from the opening monologue at the Golden Globes 2021 with their fiery one-liners, that hit 'em right where it hurts. Moreover, with the ongoing criticism that the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) is receiving for the lack of diversity; the international organisation has zero Black members amongst the 87 members, Tina and Amy made sure to address the uproar.

"The HFPA is made up of around 90 international, no Black, journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life. So, let's see what these European weirdos nominated this year." Noting how many black-led projects were snubbed, especially in the Best Picture category, Amy joked that it was all a scam invented by the "Big Red Carpet." "Inclusivity is important and there are no black members of the Hollywood Foreign Press... you've gotta change that. So here's to changing it," Fey stated which Poehler agreed to and concluded, "Yes, looking forward to that change."

Kerry Washington took to Twitter to applaud the co-hosts for using their voice against the lack of diversity at the hands of the HFPA as she tweeted, "Thank you Amy Poehler and Tina Fey for bringing the lack of representation in the HFPA to light. Real change must come #GoldenGlobes." Moreover, Twitterati was abuzz with nothing but praises for Tina and Amy's opening monologue as Twitter user @penacolada2293 perfectly summarised in his tweet: "Tina Fey and Amy Poehler should host literally EVERYTHING. #GoldenGlobes"
