WGA Writes Off Globes, Oscars

It's final: The Writers Guild of America won't allow its members to write for the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards, it was announced today.

The Globes will still air Jan. 13, but many stars are expected to honor the strike and refuse to cross the picket lines. And without writers, there won't be much witty banter for the stars.

Last week, Globe nominee Katherine Heigl told "Extra" that she might not show up at the ceremony - but she's not thrilled about the decision.

"We can’t cross the picket lines, which is going to be very disappointing," she said. "But I am totally blaming the studios."

Although I still support the strike, I call again on both sides to make a deal to end the strike. it’s time to get serious. A lot of people has already been hurt by the strike. I call for the settlement to end the strike.
