Attention TV and film critics, entertainment beat writers &

radio/TV producers:

Only three people in the world know the winners of the 2001 Golden Globes before Sunday evening, and they all work for Ernst & Young -- the official tabulators of the Globes, Prime Time Emmys, Miss America and the ESPY Awards.

One of them, senior manager Lisa Patterson, is available to speak to the media this week about:

   Her behind-the-scenes experiences for the past seven Golden Globes

   What she does for the 72 hours from the time she validates the
   ballots from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association until the
   first winner is announced in primetime on Sunday night on NBC

   In the wake of the Florida election controversy, how E&Y makes
   sure that every vote for the Golden Globes is counted...and
   recounted

   Her "red carpet makeover" this year courtesy of fashion designer
   Leslie Niskar from a real professional woman by day to Hollywood
   glamour on the red carpet and on the stage at the Beverly Hilton on
   Sunday

Patterson is available for phone interviews all week, and from Wednesday to Friday, broadcast media are invited to visit the Ernst & Young office in Century City (2049 Century Park East, 17th floor) to film Lisa and the E&Y team counting the ballots and locking them up for the weekend.

Red carpet interviews or photo opportunities for Sunday can be arranged in advance as well.
