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."

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.

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."
