Ricky Gervais to Host the Golden Globes
Originally posted 10/26/2009 01:50PM
He's provided memorable moments on the Golden Globe awards in the past – and this year Ricky Gervais will have the chance to do so again. The British comedian will host the 67th Annual Golden Globes in January, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry, which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host," Gervais said Monday. "I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don't turn down."
This marks the first time that the telecast has had a host since 1995. This year's Golden Globes will be broadcast live on NBC on Jan. 17 from the Beverly Hilton Hotel starting at 8 p.m. ET. Nominations will be announced Dec. 15.
"We are delighted to have Ricky Gervais as the host on our show," said Philip Berk, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Golden Globe Reactions: Brooke Shields Congratulates 'Tremendous' Tom Cruise
Originally posted 12/11/2008 01:00PM
The Golden Globe nominations are in – and many of the new nominees are expressing their excitement, gratitude and surprise.
Some stars, like first-time nominee Kevin Connolly, were woken up by the news at 5.a.m. L.A. time. The elated Entourage actor wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion. "I'm pacing around on my cordless phone in my underwear," he told PEOPLE.
Brooke Shields, who rose early to help announce the
nominations, was thrilled for friend Tom Cruise, who
nabbed a Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Musical nod for his nearly-unrecognizable turn as a fat, balding movie executive in Tropic Thunder. "I'm so glad for him!" Shields told PEOPLE. "I think it's ironic, all the work that he does [and] that's what he gets
nominated for. I think he's done tremendous work so I think he's probably
chuckling about it too."

Will the Grammys and Oscars Also Be Canceled?
Originally posted 01/16/2008 10:30AM
With the Golden Globe awards victimized by the writers' strike, Hollywood's attention – and deep concern – now shift to the Academy Awards and the Grammys.
So far, the Writers Guild of America "will not grant waivers to the recording industry, and in all likelihood, we will not grant one to the [Motion Picture] Academy," WGA-West Executive Assistant Director Jeff Hermanson told PEOPLE Tuesday.
The reason: the revenues from the broadcasts "go directly to the conglomerates."
Without waivers, the shows face the possibility of picket lines that stars in the Screen Actors Guild won't cross, forcing a possible Globes-style downsizing. For the Oscars, especially, Hermanson said, "at this point, it is bleak."

Originally posted 01/04/2008 07:35PM
Golden Globe-nominated actors and presenters won't attend the televised award show Jan. 13 because of the writers' strike, the Screen Actors Guild announced Friday.
"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 Writers Guild of America picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters," said SAG president Alan Rosenberg. "We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers."

Golden Globes Seek Deal with Writers
Originally posted 01/02/2008 04:15PM
The Golden Globes called on striking Hollywood writers Wednesday for a deal to allow the show to be aired without picket lines.
Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said the Globes were seeking the same kind of interim agreement that the Writers Guild of America reached with David Letterman allowing his program to resume with union writers.
"We feel that the Late Show with David Letterman agreement is very reasonable, and hope and expect the WGA will agree to the same terms and ultimately permit the Golden Globe Awards to be broadcast as scheduled, without picket lines, on Sunday, January 13," said Camara.

Globe Nod Causes Mary-Louise Parker to Burn Her Waffles
Originally posted 12/13/2007 12:30PM
Mary-Louise Parker's Golden Globe nomination caused quite a stir at her house Thursday morning – and nearly started a fire.
"I was in the kitchen making breakfast for my kids. I was making waffles, which almost caught fire," the star of Weeds tells PEOPLE about getting the news of her best actress nomination. "I was on the phone for a long time and then I noticed it was really smoky."
But she says her two children didn't mind all the commotion. "It was kind of fun. My kids like it when the smoke alarm goes off. It's loud, and exciting, and my son gets to pick up the broom and hit the ceiling with it."
