      i actually think the writers strike is the best thing that happened to media outlets in a long time. nbc abc fox and so many other networks have become embarassing institutions, that gladly hand over honor and ethics for ratings. On BBC, wars and scientific breakthroughs are the most valued stories. On our fantastic media outlets, celebrity couples are breaking news and much else is government-censored propeganda. If i wanted the real deal on pop culture i would come to a blog, like this one. if i wanted news, i would not flip the tv on. I think the writers strike will CLEAN FUCKIN HOUSE. the good writers will be hired back and the bad ones should become a paparazzi, or pump gas. if only the times and globe would clean such house.

      Say it isn't so! I loved not having the Globes and that other show strutting all over the place. Cancel this crap. No one wants to watch it or have it clogging up the airwaves.

      They can say the show will go on all they want but if my fellow writers and the SAG members don't show up there will be no show, end of story.

Did you see the doll they made up on a skit on his show of the Conan Strike beard doll? there is even one on ebay now to support the writers strike if you check Ebay Conan Doll, the auction is even funnier than the show, check it out!!!

      I was hoping this shit would be cancelled too. It's just another opportunity for a bunch of dirty Jews to pat each other on the back and brag about how much money they've made.

      I hope the Oscars gets scrapped. An award show for a bunch of conceited self absorbed assholes.

      Bottom line…
      THEY ARE SO FUCKED if they don't get a WGA deal, because then actors won't show up.
      No actors, no red carpet = a "who gives a shit" show

    27. so what says – reply to this

      Who cares? I stopped watching long ago anyway because the show is nothing but the parade of mostly overpaid, untalented, over and undressed people. If the oscars were actually to reward those with ACTING or writing ability then the show could be done in a half-hour or less and it would appear, at least on the surface, to be genuine.

      Good Day,

      Who cares? With so many other truely important things going on in the world - who really cares about an antiquated mysoginistic display of narcicism? And if any of you think these awards are truely about talent you could not be more wrong. Particualrly with regard to the Oscars. It is all about marketing and has nothing, in my opinion, to do with talent or performance. It is about what or which studio can best "spin" their movie and or actors to an award. Then - with said award won it becomes a marketing tool to further sell the movie. It is all crap and plastic.

      Now - if I want to know the results - I can read them in the paper the next day which takes about 5 minutes rather than waste a good three hours of my life listening to dishonest "thank yous" from the core of narcicism in this country. Half the time they can't even finish as the music drowns them out. Ugh…

      ok so how about all of the fast food workers do a strike for more money, see how fast the price of a burger will go up! fuken greedy bastards,

      GET OVER IT ALREADY! Settle this strike and move on. Most Americans can sympathize for a while; however, the longer it drags on, the more it seems to be a "gimme gimme" scenario. The vast majority of Americans don't work in Hollywood, don't make this kind of money, and don't have a tolerance level for this nonsense - we're too busy figuring out how to stretch stagnant salaries to keep up with soaring fuel costs, ever-increasing grocery bills ($6/gallon milk where I live, and going up), etc etc - you know, REAL life issues. How many more dollars YOU make does not interest us at all. Baseball players, football players, writers . . . NO ONE is irreplaceable, people.

      i guess the almighty George Clooney has saved the day! with his big nomination coming up, he made damn sure those Oscars would go on - and the producers happily obliged whether people have lost their jobs or not! as long as that crazy jokester george clooney is happy, well thats all that matters (I don't hear about johnny depp or daniel day lewis saving the day!)

      OK. I admit I didn't read the link, but I have an idea anyway. :o )

      The Oscars cannot be messed with. We cannot cancel them or reduce them to a one hour pretaped monologue. What all involved *could* do is to not accept any money for their time. Everyone band together to put together the show out of donated time. Have sponsors pay for things that have to be paid for, but everything else is free. Is that even possible? I don't know how it usually works, so feel free to completely ignore me.

      in spite of declining ratings every year this schlock gets perpetuated annually?
      let it fade away slowly and pitifully like that classic american sitcom
      "Happy Days". The shark will be jumped soon.
