Teen solves centuries-old math problem
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- The Hollywood Foreign Press Association's lawsuit against the producers of the Golden Globes is set to be heard next week in a Los Angeles federal court.
The HFPA, which presents the Golden Globe Awards, is suing the televised ceremony's longtime producer, Dick Clark Productions, for allegedly making a deal with NBC to keep the annual prize presentation on the network through 2018 without authorization from the association, the Los Angeles Times said.
The two parties are to bring the matter before a judge in the non-jury trial to start next Tuesday.
The Times said producer and television personality Dick Clark, HFPA Chairman Philip Berk, Chief Executive Mark Shapiro and former NBC business affairs chief Marc Graboff may be called to take the witness stand in the trial.
Sunday's Golden Globe Awards show was seen by 16.8 million viewers on NBC, the newspaper said.
