SAG: Not a Single Nominee Will Attend Globes

Rumer Willis (aka Miss Golden Globes 2008) most likely won't be handing out that many (if any) statues at the awards gala later this month. Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg has announced that not one nominated SAG performer will attend the ceremony, which is set to be broadcast on NBC on Sunday, Jan. 13 at 8 pm/ET.

"After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters," Rosenberg said. "We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers."

The irreverent Globes gala, which honors actors and films that later go on to Oscar glory and gives nods to TV stars often overlooked at the Emmys, is the second awards show this season to be affected by the ongoing WGA strike. The People's Choice Awards set for broadcast on Sunday, Jan. 8 on CBS at 9 pm/ET reportedly will feature taped acceptance speeches from winners.

The Globes may follow a similar path. Hollywood Foreign Press president Jorge Camara said in response to Rosenberg's announcement, "[We] have been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike. We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate."

Actors aren't totally locked out of making TV appearances during the strike. Rosenberg added that performers are being encouraged to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Both CBS yak fests (produced by Worldwide Pants) have signed waiver deals with the WGA. The SAG head honcho noted that stars should skip The Tonight Show with Jay Leno other shows but didn't mention those programs by name.

Too bad the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn't nominate Powers Boothe for his role as vice president Noah Daniels on 24 from last season. Boothe, as veteran TV viewers recall, crossed a picket line during the SAG strike to attend the 1980 Prime Time Emmys; the actor ended up winning a Best Actor statue for his role as cult leader Jim Jones in Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones.

That SUCKS

[CeCiMom]

Sucks for us but, I'm glad the actors are supporting the writers.

[erinjs]

I wish the strike would just finally end....

[Francis_3]

quick question: How are ANY of the award shows going to happen? Don't they need writers to write speeches, comentary, the entire beginning monologue?

Gloden Globes Officially Whittled Down to a One-hour Press Conference

Though NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association attempted to hammer out a deal that would have reimagined the Golden Globes telecast as a series of NBC News specials, the lavish gala on Monday evening was officially whittled down to a one-hour press conference announcing the winners and to be covered live, Sunday at 9 pm/ET, by NBC News.

According to the "unofficial schedule" that was bandied about on onday and cited by Nikki Finke's DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com, the Peacock proposed kicking off the evening with a 7 pm edition of Dateline featuring interviews with this year's nominees. At 8, the ideal idea (if approved by the WGA) was to present a clip show of the Globes' greatest moments. From 9 to 10, NBC News present the "press conference," followed at 10 by an Access Hollywood-style roundup of the aforementioned parties.

From 9 to 10, NBC News would cover a "press conference" revealing the winners, with cameras cutting away for reactions at any number of Globes soir

Well, thank God Brittany Spears flipped out or the TV Guide channel would have nothing to air during the days (and weeks) after the globes.

NBC Finalizes Globes Plans

Matt Lauer to host 'Dateline' nominees special

January 9, 2008

Matt Lauer

NBC has nailed down its plans for the stripped-down Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

"Today" co-anchor Matt Lauer will host a two-hour special called "Going for Gold" at 7 p.m. ET

Sunday. The show, which falls under the "Dateline" banner, will feature interviews with several nominees, including James McAvoy ("Atonement"), Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer"), Ellen Page ("Juno") and Amy Adams ("Enchanted"), as well as Globes predictions from NBC's "Football Night in America" crew.

Comedian Kathy Griffin will also provide commentary on the awards, whose usual night-long party fell victim to the writers' strike. With actors refusing to cross a promised Writers Guild picket, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the Globes, and NBC decided to scrap the ceremony in favor of a "news conference" at 9 p.m. ET (print reporters will be allowed to attend, but NBC will be the only one broadcasting it).

Canceling the Golden Globes ceremony will likely cost NBC about $10 million to $15 million in lost ad revenue, according to several trade publications.

The "Dateline" special was initially scheduled to air Saturday night. NBC has also cancelled tentative plans to cover the post-announcement parties, as most of the parties themselves have been shut down. An "American Gladiators" encore will air at 10 p.m.
