I Like the Golden Globes Poster

The poster for the Golden Globes is online, and I have to say it looks pretty cool. And it’s got that “2001: A Space Odyssey” monolith thing going for it, too.

According to a press release from The Hollywood Foreign Press Association Board of Directors, “The vibrant artwork features the world’s most famous golden orb flanked by parallel rows of palm trees that give a sense of the iconic Los Angeles setting for the event recognized worldwide as ‘The Party of the Year.’”

The poster was created by Los Angeles artist Colin McGreal in association with Famous Frames. And the 1300 guests attending the ceremony get one “suitable for framing.” At first I thought, that’s cheap. The least they could do was frame it. But that’s be a lot of frames, and I supposed it could get pretty pricey.

The 66th Annual Golden Globes will take place Sunday, Jan. 11, 2009 at the Beverly Hilton, with a live telecast airing on NBC at 8 p.m. EST. Visit the official Golden Globes site here.
