The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has finally announced that this Sunday’s Golden Globe telecast on NBC and champagne-soaked dinner are now canceled. In their place will be an hour-long HFPA press conference covered live by NBC News beginning at 6:00 PST. “We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007’s outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television,” said Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. “We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year’s Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled.”

Very sad but atleast something is being televised. I’ll miss the fun speeches. I support the writers but please find a solution soon. I look forward to awards season and this definitely dampens it.
I think the WGA is making a big mistake. Isn’t this the perfect venue for actors to stick up for the writers and have the world hear it?
Darn, I’ll miss seeing them honor something as inane as Green Card as best picture live!
i am very disappointed in not seeing this show. i am a union member and really support the writer. but it is one thing worth mentioning…tv is not all the great anymore and is hardly worth looking at; so this show will be sorely missed. reality shows is not always entertaining all the time every single day. someone in hollywood needs to get it together. give up the royalties and get on with some real programming and where are the stars besides those on the silver screen??? they must be bored out of their minds! not everyone new is good to look at on television…use some inovation PLEASE. PARDON MY SPELLING!
I think it’s ridiculous that the actors refuse to attend the event. If the writers want to strike the show, then let them. Why should everyone else be punished because of the greedy WGA? The WGA needs to be shown that Hollywood will go on without them. It’s too bad SAG can’t stand up for themselves.
WGA — Go back to work!!! Is a few dollars (to add to your $$$$$ salaries) really worth the harm you’re causing everyone else? WGA = GREED
if the writers were truly ethical, then it would be all of them back to work as opposed to only some – as is currently the case. now the way it is, it’s fine for some of the writers to go back to work, yet everyone else (non-writers) is still supposed to boycott. the writers are self-serving hypocrites, in my opinion.
um…who cares, I’m waiting for the Oscars!
The WGA brings down the GLOBES!!!! SCORE!!!! YESSSS!!!
For the first year in three years I was going to be able to enjoy the show during my winter break. Darn it all! I support the writers, but this is a bummer.
Golden Globes cancelled? GOOD! There are too many “celebrities” whose egos are far greater than their talent, and we don’t need to listen to their empty blather.
If the Grammys and Oscars are also cancelled, all’s well and good. Most “entertainment” today is nothing but crap.

This totally sucks! I’ll pay the writers to do the golden globes for god sakes! As long as they don’t cancel the oscars.
