Serena posted earlier about how the SAG put their foot down and announced that their members would not be attending the awards if NBC airs the show as planned. Well late today we get an update to that threat and it looks like tyranny wins again.
The Offical Golden Globes Website reports:
the recipients of Golden Globe Awards in 25 categories will be revealed during an hour-long HFPA press conference at The Beverly Hilton to be covered live by NBC News beginning at 6:00 pm PST on January 13.
So the show is officially cancelled, but the awards will still be given out. The closest thing we will get to a show is the press conference with the official announcements. Hardly the same anticipation and buzz, but then I found the awards shows themselves to be pretty drawn out anyways.
I feel it is important to give out the awards. Despite the strike and the tomfoolery attached, these actors and writers did earn these awards. Perhaps another set of awards for asshattery should be given out, but I am not naming any nominees.
