2008 GOLDEN GLOBES ARE CANCELLED

January 8th 2008 15:03

Well, it’s happened. The Hollywood scriptwriters strike has led to the cancellation of next Sunday's Golden Globe awards ceremony and it looks as though they are now threatening to disrupt the Oscars.

According to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which sponsors the show, the results of the awards will instead be revealed at an hour-long press conference, screened live in America on NBC News.

Jorge Camara, the HFPA president, said that he was, 'very disappointed' that, 'millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars celebrating 2007’s outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television.’

As yet, there is no end in sight for the 9-week strike by 10,500 members of the Writers Guild of America demanding appropriate pay for work distributed on the Internet.

The next concern is whether the Oscars will go ahead as usual on the 24th February 2008. Hopefully a resolution that suits all parties will be achieved by then.

Gosh, it's really happened! I would be so upset if I won one and couldn't go through the whole rigmarole.

Hi Mich

Yes, I would be peeved too if I'd won an award or were involved in some way. It must be disappointing.

How disappointing indeed! Although I am all up for appropriate pay. Anyone and everyone of us, no matter what profession, is entitled to appropriate pay!

I think it's funny... could they try and run it without scripts?

I don't think it works like that, Cib, but interesting idea....

Hi Amy

Yes, I think it's one of those situations that can be seen from both sides, but is difficult to resolve...

I guess it's back to more waiting for those involved.
