The Golden Globes and NBC agreed Monday to scrap the show's traditional format, which faced picketing by striking writers, in favor of a news conference that organizers hoped would save the unofficial kickoff to Hollywood's awards season.

Actors had declined to defy strikers to attend Sunday's event. But it was not immediately clear whether the Writers Guild of America would call off its pickets for a revamped show that would be televised without using writers.

Wait a minute here... I thought the Golden Globes were being held at Alec Baldwin's place? Did I miss something?

Wonderful. They should stay cancelled permanently. Let all the money saved go to
charity, rebuilding New Orleans or combating climate change.

Now, if we could just get the rest of the "awards" shows cancelled.

Watching a bunch of Libs give "awards" to another bunch of Libs is not my idea of entertainment.

Next on the list: The Oscars!!

Harry Winston has nobody to "loan" 10 million dollars worth of diamonds to.
Karl Lagerfeld is shredding the gowns.
There are piles of Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutin stilletos in the middle of Rodeo Drive.

It's like a horror film here - oh, without a script.

Is that good or bad? Will it make a difference? If yes or no, to whom?

Oh but how are we going to know what color ribbon to wear without a celebrity to show us the way?

As a nation, I feel we need fewer of these sad little attention starved show-biz pageants.

This is a good thing.

** Crickets **

These award shows are such self-serving pieces of nonsense. I say good riddance.
