The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is asking its members to return a pricey promotional gift they were sent on behalf of 'Nocturnal Animals' as the annual courting of awards season voters kicks into high gear.
Do gifts of Tom Ford-branded perfume sent to promote the awards prospects of the fashion designer-turned-director’s new film Nocturnal Animals pass the smell test?
— Focus Features sent each member of HFPA two bottles of Tom Ford perfume, now they each have to return one of them. Read more at Golden Globes Voters Told to Return Gift of Tom Ford Fragrance at Hollywood Reporter. Hat tip to Iso Be Super!
Can some one explain to me why Tom Ford and/or his perfume licensee has not actually issued a scent called “Nocturnal Animals?” It would be a terrific name for a perfume, regardless of the plot of the movie.
It is shocking that they haven’t. Maybe now they will.
I’m sure I read that he wants to keep the ‘Artisitc’ side of his life separate from the business side – that’s why the film deliberately doesn’t include a single Tom Ford product when he could have stuffed it with personal product placement.
Interesting, thanks!
