Sergei Rakhlin , an entertainment reporter, screenwriter and longtime member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association , died on January 21, the organization said. He was 78. Rakhlin was born in Gorky, Russia in 1943, playing several key roles during his time with the HFPA , including as an executive producer of their annual Golden Globes awards ceremony. “Sergei was a strong advocate for international filmmakers and long pressed for their recognition and inclusion in Hollywood.
