Filed under: Awardz
NBC decided to cancel the Golden Globes.
In its place, THIS shit is going to go down on Sunday:
"At 7pm NBC will air Dateline with clips and interviews with nominees. (Currently scheduled to air for two hours on Saturday night.)
At 8pm, NBC is in talks with Dick Clark Enterprises for a one-hour retrospective/clip show.
At 9pm there will be a press conference covered by NBC News announcing the Golden Globe winners. (9pm-10pm)
At 10pm NBC will broadcast an "Access Hollywood" style, Golden Globes party show… visiting the various parties in Hollywood."

who cares?! First
Grrreeeaaatttt….
1st ?
FIRST!!! WHY IS IT CANCELED?
How pissed is the Foreign Press?!?! This is an insult that will not be forgotten by them.
well there goes my evening. I LOVE PEREZZZZ
FIRST ALMOST FUCKERS
WHO CARES FUCK FREAKS
Lame.
Power to the people! Give the writers their money you greedy a-holes!
As a writer, whatever it takes to get the message across that Hollywood writers should get what they deserve…including not working for and attending award shows.
SUCKS…. guess i'll just have to go see GET WICKED after all : www.getwicked.net
hah, color me surprised.

this sucks!
i wish we could see a proper awards ceremony!
it´s quite sad for the nominees though.
but it´s a good thing that the actors stood behind the writers and that the writers kept strong.
this will have an impact on the industry as it´s the golden globes we are talking about and not some weird z-listers event.
hope that they settle a deal before the oscars, i am so looking forward to this especially as jon stewart will be hosting.
Dateline should run To Catch A Predator - it would be far more entertaining.
There's nothing like eating cocktail weenies and watching pervs get busted.
XOXO
Really, who gives a shit? It's the Golden Globes. It's no more relevant today than the Blockbuster Awards were before someone mercifully pulled the plug.
I couldn’t care less, and TV is nothing more than a dinosaur with all the crap (so-called) writing and fake talent shows (A.I. topping the list). The sooner the networks go down for the count the better. And cable should be free, but for the only difference between it and the networks (even though there are more channels to choose from), is that we pay for the commercial-breaks with cable, as apposed to networks being free. Now that I think about it, when was the last time you bought (paid $20.00) for a ‘DVD, brought it home, loaded it and pressed ‘start, and didn’t have to fast-forward through 10-minutes of promos/commercials? WHAT?!? I just paid for this movie, and it’s pre-loaded with a bunch of commercials? We pay far more than a copy of a ‘DVD/movie is worth, and yet the studios still can’t help but to squeeze every cent out of the advertising bug they can muster.
GOOD! I can't stand watching a bunch of pompus ass people getting awards for doing nothing!
I like it when they get made fun of though…that's why I love PEREZ!!!
Here’s a little info for the networks/studios that they don’t want to hear; in that advertising on TV doesn’t sell anything! When was the last time you ran out and bought anything you ever saw pushed in the commercials? I never have and I never will. NO SOLICITATING posted proudly at my front-door. If I want something; I’ll got out and buy it, and I don’t need pushers/marketers trying to win me over. Let the networks fail or move to cable, and let cable be free to everyone. If advertising sells then it won’t make or break or change anything right? Sound farfetched? Radio is free, as are email accounts. It doesn’t cost a penny to email anyone you know, other than the small fee we pay for internet (the libraries are free), and you can call anyone over the ‘PC you choose (if you’ve figured out how), converse freely and there are no ‘local/long-distance charges connected. Having vented, have a wonderful day~
This sucks. I was counting on seeing Michael C. Hall grab that GG award he much deserved. now, they better put on a good interview of him.
HA! I love it! They are finding a way to get around the strike!! AND… they will still get ratings out of it!!! HA! Screw the writers and the fucking lame ass strike!!! GO NBC!!
Perez swallows balls. His breath smells like rotten horseshit. he has warts on his cock and ass. El Grosso!!! Cuban Cocksucker
TRAVESTY!!! How am I supposed to have a Golden Globes party WITHOUT the Golden Globes?!
Oh yeah, that's nuttin….Perez fistfucks old dogs and sniffs his hand.
THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good! awards shows are boring… this way we can find out in less than an hour who won everything! although it woulda been sweet to see it go on without any stars… oh well! hope the writers strike is over soon.
GOOD! …WHO NEED A TO WATCH A BUNCH OF SELF-REWARDING MILLIONARES
BE REWARDED FOR DOING THEIR JOBS…READ A BOOK!
POWER TO THE WRITERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY UNITED AND YOU WILL RULE!
No awards show? Not surprising. The actors weren't going to show up, anyway. Then again, it would have been funny to see NBC try to do a broadcast in an empty theater. I think the last time stars boycotted an awards show was the 1980 Emmys during the SAG strike of that year. I heard only one actor showed up to claim his award. Does anyone know if that awards show was broadcast?
NATION OF ISLAM SUPPORTS YOU, OBAMA!!! ITS TIME FOR BLACK MUSLIM CANDIDATE TO BE PRESIDANT!
BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!
does this mean that we don't get to see Rumer???
hip hip hooray!!!!!!
Sure… the actors won't show up to the actual golden globes … so it was cancelled…. BUT, THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES WILL STILL SHOW UP TO THE PARTIES???????? WTF…. THEY WILL SHOW UP TO THE PARTIES FOR THE FREE LOOT, GIFT BASKETS, BOOZE, FOOD AND CHEAP WHORES LOOKING FOR FAME……
IF THE GOLDEN GLOBES WERE CANCELED, SO SHOULD THE PARTIES
HOW IRRITATING……………..WHOEVER SHOWS UP TO THESE PARTIES IS F***UP AND A DOUBLEFACED DOUCHE
If they can't air the show, why are they giving out awards??? If the actors don't show up, why should they be rewarded???
Sorry but seriously………..NO ONE CARES…….this tripe is shoved down everyone's throat….thanks! One less stupid show to hype.
ONE MORE THING……
IF THE HOLLYWOOD ACTORS/ACTRESSES ARE REALLY SUPPORTING THE WRITERS STRIKE… THEY SHOULD STAY HOME SUNDAY NIGHT AND *****READ A BOOK******** FORGET THE PARTIES!!!!
tHOSE THAT SHOW UP TO THESE PARTIES WILL SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS…. CAN'T WAIT
this sucks so bad… not fair at all… selfish assholes in hollywood can't get over themselves and come to an agreement and shit like this happens… awards season only happens once a year! basically going 2 years without the award shows now….
It does suck balls! I love the Golden Globes. It's too bad it won't go on. I understand the reasoning though. Most of the A listers weren't going to show up and I can't say that I blame them. They are supporting the writers. To think…all this could be solved if the big greedy companies would just fork over a measely FOUR CENTS!!
These 6-figure earning writers are so greedy. Its a known fact that most TV writers make around $200,000 (google it) and yet they refuse to work til they get more. GIVE THEM NOTHING and REPLACE THEM WITH ACTUAL TALENT
Anything but this lineup of crap.
This year they'll have to give out the winner of the Most Boring TV show ever. It will win and be on at the same time! This sounds about as interesting as watching dustballs grow.
They should do it this way every year.
Boo hoo for Rumor! NOT! ha ha bitch. I guess Mommy and Daddy will have to get you another job since you can't seem to get without them.
Big ones. Just resolve the strike already. NBC is pissing me off the most, axing good shows unresolved, and now the strike. I cancelled my cable, I'll resume when scripted shows come back. I live in Montreal Canada, but I watch ads and see product placement nonetheless.
This is so stupid. Many of the writers have gotten new deals and have abandoned the picket line - yet everyone else is supposed to still boycott everything? At first I was on the writers' side, but now they are showing themselves to be just as self-serving and hypocritical as the producers are.
f hollywood. get this strike settled and get back to work you selfish assholes (bosses, writers, actors…all of you)
this sucks for all of us who worked very, very hard on a particular movie that was nominated for 2 golden globes. i was looking forward to seeing a win!
I actually don't care because this year was one of th worse years for film I've ever seen. Just a bunch of boring rpetnetious crap. And apart from maybe Jodie Foster and Daniel Day Lewis I really dont' care about the nominees. Last year was much better for awards.
Yay — Rumer Willis won't be on tv!!!
Megan is right. Who cares? The people who vote for these awards are like 12(or maybe 70) newspaper and magazine writers from other countries who report on the entertainment industry for their media overseas. They vote for anything and anybody that mainly Europeans like and are greatly influenced by "favors" from the film and TV industry. These awards are worth nothing!!!!
Unions started out as a neccessary and good idea. But they have grown evil with their success. I would like to see someone in Hollywood with the balls to say "no more!! We will not be told what to do by these overly powerful unions." But I know that won't happen. Everyone thinks unions represent the little guy who can't help himself–but they've grown into a huge conglomerate that makes outrageous demands, while still pretending to protect the weak people. PPZ–can't you see that and be brave and be the 1st to speak up???
What I would like to see is the awards show completely cancelled, and make it a lose-lose situation. The actors don't recieve any award and the show isn't televised. Bet that would start a war with SAG and WGA. One of the most prestigious awards not awarded. Think of all the stars who may have gotten this award, not getting it. Talk about ego's being shot down. All that hard work, being nominated and then no awards given because the writers would not accept the same deal for this one show that they approved of for the David Letterman show. It does say one thing, that the actors are getting shafted by the writers (by not accepting that deal they gave Letterman). If I was an actor, especially if I was to receive that award, I would be pissed.
It's amazing how unions stand together, even though one is shafting the other.
Re: Melody – Stop whining. Take your already generous pay and use it to wipe your crying nose. Unions suck companies dry, and make outrageous demands. I hope they fire you all.
Re: KML – You are so right!! Fuck the stupid writers!!
Good for the strikers…bad for the viewers.
i love the globes and oscars…you know, where real actors that aren't named jessica or kim or ashley actually show up? this effen blows, agreed, mario.
BUT…… doesn't that also mean that we don't have to look at Potatoe Head. I'm pretty excited about that.
OK THEN
LaRAZA, SUPPORTS YOU, BILL RICHARDSON!!! IT IS TIME FOR A BROWN HISPANIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT!!!! BROWN POWER!!! BROWN POWER!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!! BROWN POWER!!!!! YALS NEED TA VOTE FOR HIM. LATINOS NEED TO UNITE PLEAS. UNITE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VOTE FOR A BROWN CANDIDATE!
at first i was elated that the show was cancelled…but the nominees are still getting airtime on dateline! and they're still having those self-congratulatory parties! the entertainment unions must be the ONLY unions in this country that celebrate while they're out of work!!! proving once again that the highest paid industry in the world deserves NONE OF OUR SYMPATHY.
Re: sandman –
Never mind the fact that this is 2008, not 1908. Door-to-door salesmen aren't the rampant epidemic they used to be back before they were able to spam you on television and through the internet.
But if you "proudly" display a sign with "NO SOLICITATING" on your door, the best thing that can happen for you for a door-to-door dictionary salesman to magically materialize from a bygone era to hand you a dictionary.
I will no longer support the WGA. They are making a mess of everything! The Globes just need to keep the awards this year.. and the oscars too. Let those movie lose all the money they would have made by the awards push… let everybody blame who is at fault the stinking Writers.
I watching only reality TV… no more scripted WGA crap after the writers have pulled all their tricks.
I hate the WGA.. I'm only watching reality TV too.
Shame on the WGA and the mess they have caused.
To #27 Sandman:
Does it really say NO SOLICITATING at your door?
BORING! Who watches this crap anyway? Even actors hate them- they just go there for publicity reasons. Don't people have better things to do that watch boring celebrity speeches. We want juice! We wanna see celebs drugged out on their way to rehab! Yeah!
Re: janebird –
Agreed.
NBC is a bunch of pussies! They should really cancel the awards. Why honor those who won't attend. They don't deserve their awards.
During the annoucement of the winners the foreign press should announce that no one won this year and the awards have been cancelled. They boycott the awards, but will still show up for the parties, how screw up is that!!!!
i was gonna go with one of my celeb friends. oh well, i still can't wait to go to the oscars.
you suck balls. who cares about the shameless self promotion of stupid people? I love that the writers - the ones who make all the stupid celebrities sound like they have half a brain - are holding the reigns. If I never have to see another John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Scorcese, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt - style wank fest it will be too soon.
Doesn't anyone feel bad for the truley great actors who won't get their chance to shine at their moment of victory? LIKE JAMES MCAVOY in Atonement? He's got Oscar's balls in his hands! I want to hear his speeecchh!!!
These network executives and producers only understand what will affect their pocketbooks. They need to give the writers the residuals they deserve from new media.
To support them and end the strike faster, I suggest not watching any reality show programming; watch a movie instead. If you're going to watch late night TV, stick with Letterman, who has struck a deal with the WGA.
I no longer support the writers. This is crap.
This is very fucked up!, I look forward to see this show every year, and because of writers being greedy & selfish, millions of people won't get to see this show.
I guess hundreds of thousands of dollars aren't good enough for writers. Assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Hollywood award shows are places where drunk actors and actresses gather to kiss one another's asses so they can get their next role. This one is stupid anyway- a handful of foreign journalists pick who they like. Beyond stupid. What if everyone got an award for doing their job correctly? The vanity of those dimwits is hilarious. They don't write the words, so they can't talk! hahahahah.
Re: Fed Up Consumer –
I could not agree with you more. These writers are so pathetic and selfish, put enough people out of work lately? Oh waaaah, life is so hard!
Please, try living on a teacher's salary, you greedy idiots. Just go lock yourself away in your Hollywood Hills mansions and cry yourself to sleep.
I hope when the strike ends, you are fired, every last one of you!!!!
Re: brainchild –
My dear brainchild, I could not have said it better myself!
Brilliantly executed….
Stupid writers. If you can afford to stand around picketing for that long not working, you have no business asking for more money. If I went on strike from my job, I'd lose my house, my car would get repo'ed. Nope. No sympathy. Fortunately, no one watches the Golden Globes anyhow. Must be cheaper to run a short and sweet ceremony anyway.
"This Sucks Balls"….Does that mean you are happy about this??
PEREZ, STOP BLAMING NBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't know what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with NBC. It has everything to do with the SAG and the WGA, and the Hollywood Foreign Press. The HFPA made that decision, NOT NBC. They host the show you stupid asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get your facts straight you idiot.
Re: Jane –
They are not selfsh. They'e standing up for their rights.They are the ones who really make the shows. They have the creativity. Without them there whould be nothing, yet they get the least ammount of money.
STOP BLAMING NBC!! You don't know what you are talking about.
This WAS NOT the network's decision you uniformed FAT BASTARD. It has everything to do with the SAG, the WGA, and the Hollywood Foreign Press. The HFPA made that decision, NOT NBC. The HFPA hosts and runs the show, you stupid asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get your facts straight you idiot.
STOP BLAMING NBC. You don't know what you are talking about.
You are an UNINFORMED FAT BASTARD. It has everything to do with the SAG, the WGA, and the Hollywood Foreign Press. The HFPA made that decision, NOT the network.
The HFPA hosts and runs the show, you asshole!!!!!!!!
You just LOOOOOVE feeding people misinformation, don't you?? You're pathetic.
Christ, can't they just postpone the awards? This sucks.
If these arrogant actors are not going to show up, they shouldn't be given any awards. Give them to people who actually do something worthwhile in their lives instead of these doped up, immoral nitwits.
Good. I'm glad no award shows. This notion that people at home need to see rich actors handing each other awards is stupid. Put it on the internet and if we want to watch, we'll login. I don't need to see this crap on TV
Will you idiots posting here just get over yourselves already? Everyone who whinges about the writers strike as if they're all millionares squabbling over a few extra dollars is a total RETARD, who clearly doesn't know anything about the actual facts. *eyeroll* You guys are the selfish dumb c*nts, not the writers or actors. Yes, never mind people's right to fair pay and conditions - your regular TV viewing is more important!
i think this is a bit crazy! The actors should think of their fans!!!!
I always see the movies that are nominated and see for myself! I know my friends and I are skipping the movies like they are skipping the award shows!
Re: Kitty –
the entertainment industry is not like any other industry. most of these people can go months without actually working and still make more money than most americans (i know several!). the people who are striking are not hurting themselves–they're hurting everyone else in the industry and betraying tv fans. do the writers deserve a bigger share of the pie? sure, but the producers are not going to take a smaller cut. we, the consumers, will face higher costs on movie tickets, dvds, and consumer goods from raised advertising rates.
BOYCOTT it all - make NBC SUFFER!!!!!!
BOYCOTT it all - make NBC SUFFER!!!!!!
BOYCOTT it all - make NBC SUFFER!!!!!!
BOYCOTT it all - make NBC SUFFER!!!!!!
Besides, you can read who won on Perez
Re: Gingerous –
I already don't go to the movies- paying that much for a ticket is stupid. I'll much rather watch a movie on the intenet for free. If the costs of movie tickets get any higher I doubt that many will go and the industry will suffer so much and I'm hoping that the greedy producers will be forced with a pay cut!
Awwwwwww. You're telling Me that I won't get to watch our Hollywood royalty pat their own backs, damn that's rough. And about the writers strike WHO CARES! Television rots your brain anyway.
Re: zebra –
Wait a minute here… what kind of contract did they sign when they were first hired? Were these terms in place when they signed on or did they just pull them out of thin air? Too bad, I hope they get nothing! What about the hundreds of people they are putting out of work? That is not selfish?
This is great news for 2 reasons: (1) we don't have to see Potato Head handing out the awards. (2) we don't have to watch a bunch of rich, old Jews thanking each other for making each other MORE wealthy.
i care! i love award season!
