I'm as pro-labour as it gets, but I also LOVE award's show season. Oscar night and Golden Globe night are a pretty big deal for me! Apparently not this year.
CBC.ca Arts - Golden Globes telecast is off: "The Golden Globes telecast, one of the highest-profile film award shows in the run-up to the Academy Awards, has been cancelled, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
In place of the traditional glitzy televised gala, NBC will air a press conference in which winners will be announced, the Times said.
This will allow stars of the big and small screens to collect their awards without the usual lavish dinner and ceremony, which members of the striking Writers Guild of America had threatened to picket.
The Hollywood Press Association, a small but influential group of journalists who cover Hollywood for international publications, is best known for organizing the annual Golden Globe Awards, which often are an early indicator of Oscar glory in the film categories.
The cancellation of the telecast would be one of the highest-profile casualties to date of the ongoing U.S. screenwriters strike, which began in early November."
