The fight over the Golden Globes implosion, like a skirmish in a schoolyard sandbox, keeps producing a flurry of he said/she said, or, since these are entertainment companies bickering, it said/it said.
After Dick Clark Productions said earlier that NBC wanted rights to the telecast of the Globes news conference, to the exclusion of other electronic media, ‘yet was unwilling to pay a nominal license fee to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Dick Clark Productions,’ NBC responded.
The network dismissed the statement by Dick Clark Productions as ‘grossly inaccurate,’ saying the company demanded a license fee ‘north of seven figures.’ The network said it considering all of its options, including possible legal recourse, to address a possible breach of contract by the company, with which it has a contract to produce the Golden Globe Awards telecast.
