Strike Threatens To Derail Golden Globe Awards

AP:

The Golden Globe Awards were thrust into deeper jeopardy Wednesday when the striking writers guild refused to negotiate with Globe organizers about staging a picket-free ceremony.

The actors union then said it would advise celebrity nominees and presenters to boycott the show, which is scheduled to be televised Jan. 13 on NBC. That would rob the boozy, informal affair of the star power that makes the Globes the official kickoff to Hollywood's awards season.

This is good for the planet. All those limos and stretch limos that deliver the stars to these awards ceremonies are contributing to global climate warming change.

Good. We don't need another patting-yo­urselves-o­n-the-back awards show on TV. They're so fuckin' boring, anyway, unless you're 12 years old, or a contestant in the farce.

Just a marketing ploy to drum up business.

I have my TV on and I hear words coming out of it. Does that mean the strike is a failure? Yes!
