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.
Excellent. Now if we can only extend this strike until after the Oscars is scheduled to be broadcast.
Very cool!
Aw shucks. Who watches these things anyway?
I suppose all the dress designers and stylists will be looking for work for that day.
Oh, the humanity!
Boo Hoo. Shoots my plans for that evening, sure.

Can they cancel Hollywood too while they are at it?
If Hollywood hadn’t told us I seriously doubt anyone would have noticed.
cheers !!!
BTW, what is it you do that you get all the goodies?
Why would it be a good thing is a longstanding American tradition (over 80 years)like the Oscars were cancelled? Unlike the Golden Globes, the Oscars have credibility.
So what your saying is: if I happen to be flipping channels on that night, the odds that I don’t flip right past NBC have improved from 0% to 5%, slightly better if some form of L&O is on.
In more important news, I am eating a gummy bear.

Well that just ruins my whole minute........
One less chance for the dillusional self importants to self copulate together is a good thing in my book.
Boo! Hoo!
A Hollywood circle jerk canceled? What is next, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria?
Dinosaur media people who enjoy seeing Left-wingers give awards to other Left-wingers because they've publicly embraced the latest Socialist cause célèbre.
A complete waste of airtime and bandwidth that could be used much more effectively by broadcasting interviews with Ann Coulter or firearms training courses.
