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.

I haven’t cared about the Golden Globes since the Pia Zadora (remember her?) scandal several years ago.

Wait, does this mean we’ll all have to decide for OURSELVES what is the best entertainment, as opposed to the illuminati making these decisions for us?
Not since an Emmy was given to an Oscar awards show have I felt so indifferent.

Well, there goes the Charlie Wilson propaganda. It was preordained to sweep the Golden Globes.
Guess Ronaldo magnus revicionism will have to be put on hold.

WOO-HOO! Let these writers toast all the awards shows. They will really tick off almost everybody, and we get the benefit of less crap being beamed out to us.

I was SO looking forward to being preached at by a buncha vapid, self-congratulatory morons. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to watch FNC election coverage for that.

The beauty is that the writers have already lost more income than would have come their way if their demands had been met on day one.
