Golden Globes Cancelled! Award Show Falls To Writer's Strike

The Writer’s Guild Strike has it’s first casualty. The Golden Globe Awards Show on NBC was cancelled and the entire event was scrapped. Instead of the overblown show, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will hand out awards in a news styled announcement and have interviews with winners.

No writers, no show! As the writers score a big hit on network revenues there has been movement on negotiations with United Artists, an MGM subsidiary that has resumed talks with the striking writers. Here’s hoping all the producers return to the bargaining table or the Academy Awards may also be in jeopardy.
