"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has been sued by a public relations firm for allegedly cancelling a contract held between the organisations for 17 years.  According to TMZ, Cinepoint Productions claims that it helped bring the Golden Globe Awards to prominence but that its promised contract renewal never came through after expiring in 2009.  Cinepoint insisted in the suit - filed in LA County Superior Court on Thursday - that it provided services to the HFPA based on the renewal, including securing the event a $26 million (\u00C2\u00A316.4m) contract with NBC which begins in 2012.  The company is suing for $2 million (\u00C2\u00A31.3m) plus punitive damages.  The Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not respond to calls for comment.
