I don't know the exact year that Dick Clark Productions and NBC partnered up on a media blitz and began marketing/reinventing the Globes as the night-of-1,000-drunken-celebrities. I think it was the 1990s sometime. They kept pitching stories to Access Hollywood (not a coincidence, that show is also an NBC production) and related infotainment shows about how it was a good predictor of the Oscars. Again, I don't know exactly when it happened, but the Globes were nothing more than one last chance for the industry to suck up to the press... and vice-versa. To me, it will always be known as the worst television show I ever had the misfortune to work on... twice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
