Globes v Oscars: awards season prize-fight

Robin Wright, winner of Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama for 'House of Cards,' poses in the press room at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California, January 12, 2014 The body which runs the Golden Globes is like David to the Oscars' Academy's Goliath -- but it punches above its weight due to its marketing muscle and ability to put on a great show. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was long dogged by scandals -- it lost its TV broadcast deal for several years -- but has pulled itself together in spectacular form in recent years. On Sunday night comic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will present the Globes for a third and final year, in what organizers hope will continue its ratings winning streak. "I'm not very good at predictions but I can guarantee you 100 percent about Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler -- they are tremendous hosts," Tom Nunan of the UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television told AFP.
