Lovely New Doorstops Unveiled at Awards-Show Press Conference

Their nominating association has no taste, and some of their prospective winners didn’t even know they existed. But whether they want it or not, they’ll get a new, made-over Golden Globe statuette Sunday night.

The semi-glorious hardware was unveiled today at a press conference hosted by Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It’s the statuette’s first revision since 1945, trading the bowling-trophy marble base for a sleeker kitchen-counter granite and, for the first time ever, offering actual gold-plated resin Globes instead of the cheap plastic gewgaws that have lined the shelves of area pawn shops and been exchanged as white-elephant.gifts for nigh on 65 years. And just because GG alumna Pia Zadora wants an upgrade today doesn’t mean you shouldn’t want yours this weekend, nominees. You’ve earned it.
