The Golden Globes finger-pointing continued throughout Friday afternoon. Here’s what a spokesman for Dick Clark Productions announced about why the Sunday press conference has been thrown open to the larger media pool, rather than being an NBC exclusive:
‘NBC wanted to have an exclusive three-hour broadcast special disguised as a news conference that would bar all other media, and yet was unwilling to pay a nominal license fee to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Dick Clark Productions. The HFPA and Dick Clark Productions felt this arrangement was unfair and unacceptable and therefore opened up the event to all media.’
