Only a few days until the Golden Globes and a PR firm decides they wanted to slap the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with a lawsuit!!!

@Ash_Bankz

Cinepoint Productions claims it did publicity work for the Association for 17 years, taking the Golden Globes from irrelevance to prominence.

In fact, Cinepoint claims they did such a good job, the Globes were able to lock in a $26 million annual deal with NBC beginning in 2012 … up from their previous deal, worth just $12 mil-a-year.

Cinepoint claims in the suit — filed today in L.A. County Superior Court — it was promised when its contract with the Association expired in 2009 it would be renewed, and Cinepoint did a lot of hard work relying on the promise … a promise it says was not honored.

Of course, it’s Hollywood, and Cinepoint was unceremoniously kicked to the curb — the contract was not renewed.

Cinepoint is suing for the fees it would have earned, $2 million, plus punitive damages.
