No Golden Globes this yearWell, it's official: The Golden Globe Awards have been canceled. Not the awards themselves, actually, but the glitzy, slightly drunken broadcast. Because of the writers' strike (and SAG's pledge not to cross picket lines), NBC decided to ax the broadcast and hold a press conference instead. Woo hoo, press conference! Best party of the year!
To me, that's the funniest thing about the news coverage thus far: concerns about the parties. Even The New York Times wonders whether the after-awards parties will go on. I don't think anyone's protesting a party. Unless you count me and the party that popped up outside my building last night while I was trying to finish the L Word recap. Anyway, like Siege, I was looking forward to seeing Tina Fey on the awards show.
And maybe Ellen Page too.
The Golden Globes press conference will still be broadcast on NBC on Sunday, Jan. 13. Now we'll just have to hope the strike is resolved before the Academy Awards broadcast, slated for Feb. 24. Submitted by on January 8, 2008 - 9:40am. |

It's a shame
It's a shame. I'm a geek for the award show season. I was looking forward to seeing Fey, Roberts and Jodie.

bummer
but I totally dig the idea of SAG being so supportive of the WGA ;)
hopefully now it will have even more impact (that strike I mean) :D

I don't enjoy watching a bunch of actors kissing each others asses all night long so I'm not exactly devastated by the news, but I do hope that this helps out the writers.
~kisses are a better fate than wisdom~
i second that bummer
I know it will help out the writers strike , especially so if producers want the Academy Awards to go on but it's going to suck because i love the award shows. If you're an actor and this was your first nomination you would probably be dissapointed to.
Sidenote- I wonder what Lissa Rinna and Joey Fatone are going to comment on if no stars show up on the redcarpet.
strike last time
I read somewhere (maybe at AE??), that last time when the writers striked the strike was resolved shortly before the academy awards because the studios feared what impact it would have not to hold the academy awards. so I really hope that that's whats gonna happen this time as well!! you know, I just love these awards, because the golden globes and emmies and academy awards are broadcast in germany as well, so I can actually tape them and watch them over and over again :) I just fastforward through the boring speeches and what the funny stuff. so I really do hope that the studios are going to give the writers the money they deserve so that we can have the academy awards!!!

I don't think this will help the writers
Actually now I'm tired of the strike. Both sides are hurting the people in the middle who work for the studios and awards. They shouldn't be punished for this. Both sides of this strike need to start talking before they won't even have jobs to even come back to. The American public has a short attention span.
