Dick Clark Productions...the long time producer of The Golden Globes...is in a legal battle with the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. over the show's future so says the Los Angeles Times today.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which created and owns the Golden Globes, is going to war with Dick Clark Productions.
"At issue is a 2010 deal that Dick Clark Productions made with NBC to keep the Golden Globes on the network through 2018. That deal, worth about $150 million, was to go into effect starting with this year's show. The ink was barely dry on the contract when the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. filed a lawsuit charging that Dick Clark Productions violated the partnership by signing the new contract without the organization's approval."
"The HFPA charges that the NBC pact, which it believes to be a sweetheart deal, is evidence of Dick Clark Productions' plans to steal control of the glitzy awards ceremony. The HFPA has also accused Dick Clark Productions of doing secret deals with sponsors and keeping the revenue for itself, as well as trying to exploit digital and other ancillary rights of the show without permission."
