No Ceremony For Golden Globes
Monday, January 7th, 2008
It’s official - there will not be a televised Golden Globe Awards for 2008. Can you believe it? NBC announced plans to scale back on the telecast, opting to air a special edition of Dateline that will showcase the nominees followed by a press conference announcing the winners. There won’t be any red carpet interviews and commentaries this year. Worst of all for many who tune in, there won’t be any fashion, fashion and more fashion. I won’t be able to comment on Angelina Jolie’s yellow gown or hubby Brad Pitt’s Englishman’s tuxedo. And yes my little kumquats, you will have to cancel your pre-Golden Globes party this year. Who’s going to eat all that Swedish meatballs? I don’t know, but I think you can keep it in the freezer for a while. The Golden Globes usually bring in the awards season, so things will be a little off-kilter this year. Rumors of the Golden Globes being cancelled have surfaced recently due to the WGA strike, which would’ve kept a lot of actors from attending the telecast as a show of support. Let’s hope the strike reaches a fair conclusion before the Academy Awards next month.
She Won’t Be At Golden Globes

And Angelina Jolie won’t be the only celebrity not showing up to the Golden Globes this year. The awards show, which is airing on January 13, will have to do without a few of its bright stars on the special day. The Screen Actors Guild announced that its membership will show support to the striking union writers and will boycott the show. Some of the biggest names nominated including Jolie, George Clooney and Keira Knightley are all SAG members. Unfortunately the writers strike continues and this is just one of the negative effects. It will definitely be a strange red carpet scene on January 13, unless some miraculous event gives way to an end to the strike before the show.
