NBC is having a press conference this afternoon to announce they are canceling Sunday’s Golden Globe ceremonies. That’s right, the show won’t even go on un-televised, which is probably a good move (imagine how boring the untelevised version could have been). NBC instead plans to run a press conference announcing the winners intercut with clips of the stars at parties. Nikki Finke’s sources claim this will be the new line-up:
- 7:00pm: Dateline’s clips and interviews with nominees cut from the two-hour piece from the prior night. Meh!
- 8:00pm: A possible one-hour retrospective/clip show. Snor!
- 9:00pm: Golden Globe Winner Press conference.
- 10:00pm: An Access Hollywood style Golden Globes party show. Who cares?
It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens to the Academy Awards if this Writers Strike isn’t settled before then.

I would only be upset about this if Casey Affleck had a shot of winning against Javier B. because it means I would miss his acceptance speech.

Maybe they should go old school like they did in the ‘30 and ’40s and just broadcast a little Oscar awards dinner on the radio. Hmmm…too bad Will Rogers isn’t around to host it anymore.

Well….That kinda stinks. I was looking forward to watching this. Please don’t let this happen to the Oscars.

And the big corporate entities are telling Americans that unions don’t have power.
A union just shut down America’s entertainment spigot!
Enjoy those reruns of “A shot at love with Tila Tequila” suckers…
