The Golden Globes To Go On????
Filed under: Awardz
Despite the writers strike, the Golden Globes might proceed as scheduled…if the ceremony is not televised.
Why????
The show is set to be broadcast on NBC, part of the media conglomorates that are refusing to bargain with the writers.
If the show airs, then that's more money for NBC and a win for the big evil media companies.
If the Hollywood Foreign Press, who owns the Globes, agrees to go on with the show without broadcasting it, then the Writers Guild is said to not picket the show.
More so, if the show doesn't air on NBC, the Writers Guild will encourage all its members to attend and the actors will show up too.
One major snafu: NBC is contractually able to and has the right to broadcast any ceremony the Golden Globes put on.
So, the only way the Globes will proceed is if NBC honcho Jeff Zucker allowed the Hollywood Foreign Press to have the ceremony without them broadcasting it.
That seems like the best solution.
But don't count on Zucker and NBC to do what's best for Hollywood! They just care about money and ratings.

crazy shiz
ugh who gives a rats ass
ugh who gives a rats ass
no one cares. . . 1st!!!
weeeot!
way confusin, but hey ah well !!
What are the technical definitions of "Broadcasting"? Can NBC run it on the internet? The WGAW and the WGAE are such creepy intimidating fucks! No wonder they are making deals with Tom Cruise right now! There is ZERO difference between the WGA and the Church of Scientology. The striking writers are all just a bunch of crybabies (averaging $300K a year) who are all pissing in the fucking streets because they can't be as powerful as the studio bosses who own their sad asses. The writers suck- because they just can't admit that they are all bitches for the studios! FUCK THE WRITERS!!! I HOPE THE STUDIOS HOLD OUT AND I HOPE THAT THEY BREAK THIS SHITTY UNION ONCE AND FOR FUCKING ALL!!!!!!!
Well, NBC is doing horribly in the ratings this year, so they should start looking for a new boss, cause this one sucks.
The Union is FUCKING the writers. This is a move for POWER. The writers are LOSING. Bust the UNION!!!!
I hope all the writers get fired eventually. Just because they are irritating.
I don't think the performers know how to suck up unless a camera is on them. It's a win-win for us…we don't have to see them. I have a great idea…cancel all award shows and donate money to charity. Now, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
Someone has got BritneySpearsMyStory.com and Popwreck.com for sale on Ebay.These are gonna be worth big bucks when they make a movie about her.Check it out.
perezeypoo,
i love you but honey the producers are not refusing the negotiate with the writers. it is the bullheaded leadership of hte writers that caused this problem by trying to do things like expand the jurisdiction of the guild to include reality tv and animation.
if you're going to report the news, be honest about it boo.
The actors need to stay away from the Golden Globes period. The writers need to be picketing whether or not the show is broadcast. It's a strike and this is a high profile, big money event. It doesn't work both ways. Only one way or the striking side loses their power.
Re: um –
Exactly. THe writers are being lead around by a group of fools who have never negotiated any union contracts (or any deals for that matter)- and have no idea what the fuck they are doing (and don't really care– because the LONGER this goes on, the more "important they will become to the desperate saps they are leading). As with MOST UNIONS- the entire enterprise is a pyramid designed to support the egos of the leaders while the bleed their minions dry with dues. Lucky for these creeps that the writers are such COMPLETE PUSSY IDIOTS AND ALL MAKE AN AVERAGE OF $300,000 PER YEAR. FUCK THE WRITERS!!! FUCK THEM ALL!!!!

I totally support the awards not being aired! If evil media exec win the battle of money it will be dooms day for the writers. NBC doesn't deserve the money after how poorly they have treated the writers.

Hang it up. Hollywood is so dead. No one cares. The writers can go to hell. Let them write a book or something worth reading for a change. Not one thing has appeared on television or in the movies in years that is worth anything. Conan, David, Jay, Jimmy, all of you can just evaporate. No one will miss you.

ALL YOU PEOPLE ON HERE THAT SAY "FIRST" ARE NOTHIN BUT A BUNCH OF PEREZ-SHLONG-SUCKING, ASS-LICKING CRACKHOES.

GET A LIFE YOU PARASITIC HERPIED-OUT FECE-FACES.
This country has gotten so stupid with TV. The shows are moronic. Let the writers and the producers and everyone involved in the entire TV scene just die and blow away. The net gain would be phenomenal!
Not one human alive (outside the narcissists that swarm L.A.) would give a rat's ass if the Golden Globes (and every other awards show) were cancelled. In fact, we'd be positively delighted. Thanks for not showing up!
Given that when Anna Nicole Smith died, Hollywood's collective I.Q. dropped ten points, I think it's safe to say that the world would do just fuckin' fine without this retard show and/or any other awards show that shines the light on these ego-driven ninnies. I send a giant THANK YOU to the writers for not foisting any more drivel on the public. Read a book writen by someone who actually has a point worth considering!
Re: #16 is a Christian Minister –
What part of "THE WRITERS ARE COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOTS" gives you the sense that I give a shit about you and your sad, stupid cult religion? The only people more fucking worthless than the striking Hollywood writers are Jesus-Freaks who find themselves compelled to confront anyone who uses "naughty " fucking language– because it hurts their prized ghost's imagined fucking sensibilities. Fuck YOU and FUCK YOUR STUPID JESUS FANTASY YOU FUCKING MESS! If there really WAS a fucking Jesus– then why isn't he helping the striking hacks who call themselves writers resolve their UNION bullshit to help them get rich again? Is that not part of his fucking PLAN (you know the one that you make up in your pin head every night to justify what a fucking WASTE OF EXISTENCE you are you judgemental FUCK??)?
Who cares?
Ask the audience if they care. Award shows are phony. It's just paid advertising anyway.
I refuse to watch the Globes if they go on during the strike. I will find out who the advertisers are and boycott them too, as SCABS!!!
Just call me a ball-busting, UNION bitch!!!
I love that this canned bullshit award show is an actual threat to the writer's guild of America! ha ha ha! I guess that's when you collectively know that you all really SUCK at writing. FUCK ALL OF YOU CRYBABY HACKS and your unemployment machine. I'm sure it is just a matter of time before your Union snaps into a million little sad pieces of suck-up losers begging for their old jobs and contracts back… PLEEEEEEEAASE???
Re: Gypsytrill –
Oh- THAT will teach them a lesson. Better start thinking about your third career little miss Principles… You and your lot are MEANINGLESS TO THE GREAT MACHINE. Perhaps Ass-Whoring might be your style. As the great Dorothy Parker once said: "I'll have to get down on my knees and have to SUCK a lot of Hollywood COCK to say I'm sorry for this fucking disaster".
Re: FUCK THE WRITERS!!!!! – Oh, dear, you really should read more of the Bible today. Perhaps you said too few decades of the Rosary this afternoon. In any case, read a chapter or two of the writings of St. Therese of Avila and you'll be back to your jolly evangelical self in no time. Sleep well, my child.
Yippee! No bullshit awards show. It will be missed somewhere between zero and zero on the missing scale.
It is hard to believe that anyone give a flying fuck about this dinosaur of a program. Only losers watch it, anyway.

Great ideas - cancel this show and every other. The Oscars have been losing viewers in truckloads. Few watch the Golden Globes or the Emmys. our lives would be simpler without them and the egotoistical, vain, puffed up lot that call themselves actors would have nothing and no one to pat on the back. As for the writers - write or don't. It doesn't much matter. We are all surviving just fine without you.
As for Perez and the evil media … please. He would suck up to them faster than a tube of toothpaste. Not much difference if they play games with showing or not showing, Liz taylor, or Letterman … here an exception there an exception everywhere an exception and pretty soon, there really is no point.
The GG are total BS anyway, who really gives a shit! NBC is totally pissed that the WGA is sticking it to Leno, the HFPA just wants the cash for their stupid ass show (if not this year, they want to make sure they get their cash next year)…studios & networks have already paid for their huge parties (which they are screwed regardless if the show goes or not)…the GGs are just a bullshit marketing ploy to push for the Oscars…please note, no one & I mean NO ONE is even pretending that the GGs are a 'REAL' award show…just as mindless as the 'People's Choice Awards'…so yeah, let them play "I'll show you" over this bullshit…Trust me, the Emmy's & Oscars won't have this problem.
I say right on or should I say 'write-on' to the WGA. The Golden Globes should not go on until these greedy corporate conglomerates sit down and settle on a fair deal with the writers. They are trying to break the union as many companies have done in this country.
Who cares?!?!? Maybe if one of these writers actually came up with something more intelligent and intriguing than Jim Belushi crap one-liners and the like (Charlie Sheen's writers should be shot), oh, let's just say every other program on TV — well, then, this strike might matter. But life just got a lot better, saner, quieter, and nicer without them and the whole Hollywood crap. L.A. could drop into the ocean and no one would miss any of the assholes that fill it up.
Hey Perez the Globes will not air…they are just delaying, oh and the oscar are not either, you can rely on that statement.
