Controversy is nothing new in the land of the Golden Globes, where the aims and accomplishments of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (which votes on the Globes) remain ill-defined. But this much is known: One of this year's best actress nominees, Sharon Stone (for "The Muse"), has come under fire for sending each of the 82 members of the Foreign Press Association a Coach watch worth nearly $400. The members were ordered by their president, Helmut Voss, to return the timepieces. The actress, meanwhile, claims her movie's distributor sent the gift.
