 Golden Globe Awards are canceled:
Organizers of the 2008 Golden Globe Awards have officially decided to pull the plug and cancel the big event. The ceremony, which was scheduled for Sunday January 13th, will be replaced with a press conference announcing the winners.
Organizers said Monday they’ve officially abandoned the televised formal ceremony this Sunday and will replace it with a press conference announcement of the winners.
"We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Jorge Camara said. "We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled."
The decision followed a lot of back and forth discussions before they finally accepted the truth. The drastic move is in response to the Screen Actors Guild pledge that its members would not cross picket lines by the Writers Guild of America, effectively leaving the show without any stars.
"The 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards NBC telecast and champagne dinner in the Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom is officially canceled," the HFPA said in a statement.
In terms of Globe nominations, Atonement led the list of movies in competition, with seven.  |
