Boehly’s proposal comes a week after a consortium led by the American business mogul reached a $5.2 billion deal to buy Premier League club Chelsea.
The LA Dodgers co-owner’s investment vehicle, Eldridge Industries LLC, has worked out a terms sheet with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) that allows him to solicit other offers and consider joining. other transactions.
“At least one other entity has already indicated its interest in making a proposal,” the association said in a statement.
The HFPA, which awards the annual Golden Globe awards for television and film, has formed a special committee to determine “potential outside strategic interest”, she said.
The proposal comes at a time when the HFPA is struggling to restore its image after backlash from Hollywood over its ethics and lack of diversity, which led American television network NBC to abandon the Golden Globes ceremony in 2022.
