The Hollywood Foreign Press Association said Thursday that it has appointed Ali Sar as its new president. He replaces Lorenzo Soria, who died August 7 in the midst of his third nonconsecutive term as president of the international journalists group that organizes the Golden Globes.
Sar has held several positions over 35-year membership in the HFPA. He most recently served as vice president. The native of Istanbul has covered entertainment for publications in Turkey and Argentina and is a special correspondent for English-language The Moscow Times.
He also spent more than two decades at the Daily News of Los Angeles, where he was managing editor for 10 years, and was an executive with Thomson (now Thomson Reuters) Newspapers’ Southern California group.
“We were shocked by Lorenzo’s untimely passing. We are committed to the vision he had charted for HFPA,” Sar said today in a release announcing the appointment.
