Will the WGA Strike Doom the Golden Globes?

December 13, 2007 | Awards Shows

The Golden Globe nominations signal the start of awards season in Hollywood, sending actors, writers, producers and fans into a frenzy as the stars prepare to flood the red carpet.

But the Writers Guild of America strike has put the Globes in a predicament. Without writers, there won't be any dialogue for the stars on stage. Actors who are supporting the WGA, like the cast of "Grey's Anatomy," might not show up.

The Globes has requested a waiver from the WGA, but has not yet received it. A waiver would grant the awards show a reprieve when the ceremony airs Jan. 13.

The WGA has already granted a waiver to the Screen Actors Guild's 14th annual awards.

God bless the Screenwriter’s Guild! I hope that they can get back to work soon, but not at the cost of being equitably compensated for what they do. I’m glad to see the SAG didn’t cross the banner, gives me hope for the world..

Here’s an idea!All of the star’s should get dressed up in their designer clothing and instead of going to the Golden Globe Award’s they go and walk the picket line’s with the striking writer’s to show their support.That would get worlwide press!!

I hope that the Writers’ strike doesn’t doomed this years Golden globes. I still support the strike, but it’s time for both to come together to hammer out a deal. That strike is already hurting Hollywood and I’m asking for a fair settlement.
