The Hollywood writers strike can now claim its first awards show casualty. The latest I'm hearing from my sources as of a few minutes ago is that NBC will not be televising the Golden Globes as planned on January 13th. Insiders tell me also that the entire event, even if it were held untelevised, will be cancelled. And the Hollywood Foreign Press Association instead will merely make an announcement of the winners. I've not yet received any official confirmation of any of this. But insiders tell me that NBC Universal topper Jeff Zucker and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association which bestows the Golden Globes made the decision together.

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.
