This Show Will Go On
Though the Golden Globes were cancelled, the Oscars are determined to proceed as planned.
Show producer, Gil Cates, said on Tuesday, "We are going to do it,. I can't elaborate on how we're going to do it, because I don't want anybody to deal with the elaboration in a way that might impact its success.”
He said the show was "the most unique show on American television” and added: "It has been on through wars and through presidential assassination attempts. It would be shameful if the Oscars were in any way impacted.”
However, that is what may happen.
The Writers Guild has denied the Academy Awards an interm deal and they will likely picket it. The actors won't cross the picket line.
Studio honcho Harvey Weinstein counters, "No matter what anybody says, if the WGA goes on strike and SAG is in support, then there's no Oscar show. It's as simple as that.'"
Sid Ganis, academy president, remains hopeful. "We're not panicking. We're preparing our show, and we're moving forward," he says.
He said it was more likely that the guild would ultimately agree to let its writers work on the Oscars.
That's not gonna happen.
The Oscars are scheduled to air February 24th.

Cancel tue fucking snore-fest. Not one human alive suffered last night from the loss of the Gloden (Shower) Globes. And most benefitted: Read a book; visit with friends; hell, go to a movie. No other profession needs to get all gussied up and have the rest of the world suck its collective cock every time it turns around. No one will miss watching the Oscars, and it will give these narcissistic actors' egos a desperately needed night off.

Why are people still voting for Hillary??? It is clear she believes in nothing but power; takes every position based on polls (supported war when it was popular and as it became unpopular right when she needed liberals in primaries for president, she becomes antiwar); and by all accounts is one nasty, selfish person. Why does anyone want her and her corruption and her abuse of power in White House.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could studio execs not work the issues out? The amount of money that would be paid to the writers for what they want won't compare in the short term to the amount of money they're going to be losing for TV shows, movies, etc. Isn't there anyone that can step in and resolve this?
I dont care about the f***ing show! AT LEAST GIVE ME MY RED CARPET :'(

Re: g-x-n – feed back, feedback, blow out my amplifier
Yay the show must go on!
Re: G-NICE – You are the one who gives him his job!!! He blogs for the readers!!!! You are obviously reading perezhilton.com because of your thoughts about him!!!
If you hate him so much stop visiting his site!!!!
how all of these actors/actresses r in 'solidarity' and wont cross the writer's picket line, but continue to reap ridiculous millions for staring in movies….ANYONE????
The show must go on!! I'll write the whole thing–it's no problem really–I write very intelligent and witty things on this website every day–I know I can do it!! Maybe some of you losers can be my assistants…
duh.
They pretend they are this and that (both sides)
but when it comes down to it they're going to
go ahead with the Oscars
just because.
Because none of them care enough.
The whole idea is ruined by either side caving in to let the Oscars go on.
ASSHOLES.
boring!
I prefer to watch the GGs, less formal, less uptight, less BORING than the Oscars.
The Oscars may be trivial to some and for all you cynics who think it is cool, maybe you should look at the impact on the city of Los Angeles. Hundreds of people within the industry are unemployed. Other industries that relie on "Hollywood $" are collapsing and closing up. This strike is bad for all involved- the writers, the producers need to get back to talking and resolve this mess. The Oscars will go on because Hollywood is about egos and that show is the benchmark for all that Hollywood represents. When TV becomes all reality crap and suddenly there is a derth of films to go see- it will not be COOL.
PS HILTON–stay away from the political arena- your predictions there prove you are too easily convinced of the media hype and it's love affair with Obama.
Who gives a shit about these award shows?All these wealthy pricks do is vogue for the cameras in clothes the average american couldn't afford to buy with a years wages.Fuck em'.
I love how the producers and writers feel it necessary to play chicken with other people's livelihoods. If the Oscars fail to happen there will be some clear winners:
- small independent studios
- writers who don't belong to the WGA working on films for those studios
- ALL non-US studios and writers
GET THE FUCK OVER IT GUYS — your egos are the only losers!!!! Start dealing in good faith
AND SAG — don't be stupid enough to follow suit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, by the way, what the hell do people making hundreds and thousands of dollars need a union for anyway!!!!!!!!!
OMFG PLEASE DO NOT AIR THIS STUPID SHOW! I cannot stand watching these megalomaniacs and their pompous attitudes as they accept awards for a craft most of them actually suck ass at. It has become a popularity contest having nothing to do with artistic ability what so ever. The arrogance and the overinflated sense of self importance in the speeches has reached a level of nausea never before experienced.
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THIS AWARD SHOW! WE DO NOT NEED TO WATCH THIS SHIT! Give them their bullshit award and go awaaaaaaaay
Who gives a collective shit about these pampered pricks?Do we really need s show to 'HONOR' someone payed a absurd amount of money to play make believe? Fuck these overpayed assholes.Let them have their own private circle jerk at spago.Assclowns.
Well that's a slap in the face for the Foreign Press (who vote for the GGs). I think their votes say more than the inbred Hollyweirdos voting for themselves & I'd watch the GG over the Oscars anytime.
Truthfully, the strike will never end if the writers keep making exceptions - either strike or stop it because you're sending mixed messages!
Re: juanbigone – Assclowns???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOVE IT!!!
THey should still do the show but fill the seats and have presenters that are only models and pornstars–and maybe a few people off of the street. I guarantee it would be somewhat less boring.
A bunch of self-absorbed men & women with preposterously low self-esteem play "make believe" for a living and are paid astronomical amounts of money. Then they are given awards for something that children do on a daily basis? The dirty Jews in Hollyweird make more money. The poor remain poor. What's wrong with this picture?
What writers? The Oscars are four hours of pathetic dance numbers, actors reciting horrible drivel or making their own stupid acceptance speeches. I don't really see the need for writers anyway.
Yes! Let all these egomaniacs have their "private" (madly photographed) cirvle jerk at Spago. Superb, indeed!
Re: Sarge – what the hell are you talking about?
If the greedy bastard writers would stop bitching …
they are the ones causing it.
I hope they don't get what they want. How embarrassing. They are making fools of themselves. The only fucking people who like them are fellow writers
STICK YOUR PENCILS UP YOUR ARSE
the oscars are on my birthday!!!!
Re: stfu and get on with it already – their are no winners in the strike but plenty of losers. LA will lose 130 mill in money brought in by the Oscars. Also the losers are the rest, hotels and other services geared industries. I'm blame both sides and hope it ends soon. This is an industry like any other cars trains and planes. It effects millions. For those of u who hate the "hollywood scene"-why do u read this site which is devoted to it. Also in free America, no one is forced to watch the Oscars or any other show. U have a remote-change the channel. Simple enough even for the simple minded-which judging from these blogs seems to be in abundance.
I never watch the Oscars because of the fact that this award show is so insanely pretentious. They seriously think they are the second coming of Jesus and anyone who would shun them needs to be burned on the at the stake. It's also like 19 freaking hours long and really really boring. I mean, even the bull crap that is the MTV Video Awards at least has sparkly stages and an audience that doesn't look half dead. But because of these fat headed writers who think they are God and and have everything wrapped around their money-grubbing fingers, if this show actually airs I'll tune in. I mean, I wont watch it but I'll keep the TV on while it's playing (on mute of course). SUCK ON THAT WRITERS GUILD OF BIGHEADEDNESS!
Again…. THIS STRIKE IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!
I BET P 'WOOD' LIKE TO GET NASTY WITH THAT STATUE
I can't stand the fucking concept of striking. In the capitalist world that is the USA, if you have a job and don't like your working conditions, you may quit. Or you may be fired. Most states if not all have "at will" employment for the promotion of a free working society. And sometimes that means you get axed, sometimes it means you quit to go do something else.
This butt faces who write: great, you have talent. But the fucking unions that own you run your life, cause you to all think alike and you're out in the cold with no paycheck! I can watch Deal or No Deal a million times in a row and I love it, so I am not dying. Get a clue, take the deal the studios offered you and get your asses back to work. Fuckers. God! Striking is for babies who can't hack it in the real world.
I would so put on my highest heels, sexiest dress, get the Mercedes washed and so fucking cross that picket line if I were an actor in Hollywood. Bust the union! Everyone wants to work in show business at one point in their life. I think this is the time to make a lot of new, little guys and girls dreams come true. Forget the SAG, the Writer's Union, all of them. Studios are not bound to hire only union writers or actors. They should take out a huge audition ad in Variety for all the writers' jobs, throw in something about needing some fresh acting faces too, and watch five million people line up for their shot. Writers, go fuck off and work at Target for a dose of how regular people make a living.
Re: NEVER WOULD I EVER !!! – Please go buy yourself a clue and find out what she stands for before mindlessly bashing her. You are ignorant and I feel sorry for you and blame your mother.
I LOVE THE OSCARSSSSSS
Does anyone else find it ironic that the Oscars poster is comprised of famous lines written by the SCREENWRITERS?
Re: Fuck those who Strike – I think someone should study up on turn of the century working conditions / collective bargaining and read "The Jungle" … Of course that would take considerably more effort than dropping F-bombs and expressing one's uneducated & simplistic viewpoint.
The only people who will "suffer" from these awards show airing are the fuckwad Scientologists who get money from these brain-dead "actors" who seem to "think" L. Ron Hubbard has anything to offer them and will beam it on down if they pay up. Fuck Scientologists up the ass. That's you, Tommy Girl.
Nicole Kidman will force her adopted children to call Keith "Dad" from now on. Take that, you cunt-face, whore from Hell, Katie Whoremonger-Holmes.
YES!!!! ON MAH B DAY TOO!!! *party dances*
Re: rockstarr26 – Are you that stupid????? I mean, there's something called remote control.
Im glad to hear the Oscars are going to be like always, these stupid writers took the whole thing too far already, give it up and get back to work, a-holes, or go write a book and see how much money it makes without the directors, the actors and the big studios behind it, fucking losers.
Also, the actors cream themselves with the thought of being in the red carpet, they are NOT going to turn down the Oscars for the stupid writers, The Golden Globes? okay who gives a shit? but THE OSCARS? there's no way, that's too much for them.
I could give a "shit" about the Oscars!
And anyone cares if it plays or doesn't? Don't be so smug — or is it glib — ask Tom Cruise. If the Oscars were cancelled the world would keep turning, the sun would rise, rain would fall in some areas, snow in others, and in some places there would just be calm. Ahhhhh. No swish of one-night-stand dresses on high- priced hookers wearing others' jewelry. No starlets thinking life doesn't get any better than being photographed. No more fat, ugly producers over-paid, over-rated, and grossly over-weight believing naively the world is better off with them in it. None of these people, when dead, will have contributed anything of note to this world. We'll do just fine without these silly Oscars. Now and forever.
wars? of course the Oscars survived wars, none of those bastards were drafted! Give the writers the bank they need, fuck those money chewing producerz
I feel so badly for the crafts people (like the sound designers and the visual effects people) who have work in the industry for years and are now finally nominated and it is tainted by greed. I am in full support of the WGA. When will the producers learn that there is no show without a script.
Who gives a flying fart if they're on or not. Don't sit in front of your tv. Go out and play in the snow….get some fresh air…….get some exercise……read a good book……make love to your lover…..don't get sucked into the american bullshit tv lifestyle…….you're only going to get fatter and fatter and fatter…….!!!!!
the oscars are about the same people winning the same prizes….. Cancel it!!
