globos de ouro sem cerimónia

[Depois dos actores terem anunciado, em solidariedade com a greve dos argumentistas, que não iam aparecer nos Globos de Ouro, a organização anunciou há minutos que este ano não há cerimónia! Os vencedores vão ser anunciados numa conferência de imprensa domingo, transmitida em directo pela NBC, que deveria transmitir a cerimónia. A causa dos argumentistas está mais viva do que nunca.]


HFPA cancels Globes ceremony
The imbroglio over the fate of Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards took several comical twists and turns on Monday as NBC, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., Globes producer Dick Clark Prods. and the WGA tried to broker a deal that would allow the event and telecast to take place in some form. Insiders said NBC brass came up with the idea of announcing the winners at an hourlong news conference at the Beverly Hilton hotel that would be covered live under the auspices of NBC News. NBC News scribes are covered under a separate NABET contract and thus are not on strike against the net. Late in the day, HFPA confirmed that the Globes’ traditional dinner and been scrapped and replaced by a 6 p.m. PST news conference to announce the winners in 25 film and TV categories, to be covered live by NBC.
