| Last Updated: Tuesday, 8 January 2008, 10:42 GMT Golden Globes ceremony scrapped Winners will receive their awards but the lavish ceremony will be dropped The Golden Globes ceremony has been cancelled and replaced with a news conference because of the strike by writers over royalties. The winners will now be revealed at an hour-long press conference replacing the usual dinner and ceremony. Actors had said they would not cross picket lines in support of writers. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been on strike since November over "residuals" - royalties for work distributed online or on DVD. The dispute has brought to a standstill the production of nearly all TV comedy and drama shows. The conference revealing the film and TV award winners will take place at 1800 local time on Sunday (0200 GMT Monday) in Beverly Hills. We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived Jorge Camara Hollywood Foreign Press Association The WGA has yet to decide whether it will call off its planned picket of the event. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organises the event, had earlier said it was striving to find a compromise allowing the event to take place "with the creative community present". President Jorge Camara said: "We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars." Speaking at Monday's Critics' Choice Awards - which went ahead because it is not covered by WGA-disputed contracts - actor George Clooney said he was a member of six unions and would not cross any picket lines. "Our hope is that all the players involved will lock themselves in a room and not come out until they finish - we want this to be done," he added. Winners of the Golden Globes are often seen as a key indicator of winners of the following month's Oscars. Interim agreements The Golden Globes announcement means the WGA has struck a double blow in its battle over residuals. On Monday, it reached an agreement to resume working with Tom Cruise's film company, United Artists. The guild said "key issues of writers" in the dispute had been addressed. Late-night host David Letterman was off the air for two months In recent weeks, the WGA has been in talks with independent companies to reach interim agreements. A similar deal was recently reached with TV host David Letterman's production company, enabling his show to return. Meanwhile, comedian Jon Stewart has returned to US TV for the first time since the writers' strike began. But his satire show, being produced without guild writers, has returned as A Daily Show with Jon Stewart rather than the usual The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The new show would be running "from now on, until the end of the strike", he added. On Saturday, the Screen Actors' Guild, the union which represents Hollywood actors, said there was "unanimous agreement" among members not to cross picket lines set up by writers. The WGA thanked the actors' union for its "solidarity and support". It says it is engaged in a "crucial struggle that will protect our income and intellectual property rights for generations to come". |

| Strike-hit US award show goes out The People's Choice Awards have been handed out in a pre-recorded programme instead of the usual live ceremony due to the Hollywood writers' strike. The new format saw film, music and TV stars receive their prizes on location. Acceptance speeches were taped for the show, with Johnny Depp and Reese Witherspoon among the main winners. The forthcoming Golden Globes ceremony has been replaced by a news conference because of the strike. Writers are demanding higher royalties. People's Choice organisers were forced to change their plans last month after the Writers Guild of America refused to let its members write for awards shows. And actors are not crossing picket lines, meaning they would not have been able to attend a ceremony. 'Respect' Host Queen Latifah said: "The thing about the People's Choice Awards that's different from everybody else is it's the people's choice. "You can't disrespect the people who keep us working, and that's the people. Ten million people logged on and voted for everyone, so out of respect for them, we have to present the awards." Depp and Witherspoon were voted the favourite male and female movie stars. Grey's Anatomy stars Patrick Dempsey and Katherine Heigl took home the male and female TV star awards. Ellen DeGeneres picked up two awards for best talk show host and funny female. And Keira Knightley won the best female action star award for her role in Pirates of the Caribbean. In the music categories, Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani were named favourite singers. Reformed pop group The Police were awarded the prize for best reunion tour. Meanwhile, the fate of other Hollywood award ceremonies, including the Oscars, remains in question due to the ongoing writers' strike. But Academy Awards organisers have said they are hopeful of reaching a deal with writers that would allow this year's event to go ahead as planned. Story from BBC NEWS: |

| Globes press conference moves to Sky News Friday, January 11 2008, 09:33 GMT By Dave West Sky is to broadcast this year's dramatically scaled-down Golden Globes event on Sky News. The full annual ceremony was cancelled because of the Writers Guild of America strike. Winners will now be announced in an hour-long press conference. Sky has therefore cancelled its plan to show red carpet footage and a two-hour highlights show on Sky One, and the live ceremony in full on Sky Movies Premiere. Sky News will air the press conference but it could be replaced depending on breaking news. A spokesman explained: "Due to the cancellation of the 65th annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Sky will no longer be showing live coverage of the event on Sky Movies or coverage of the red carpet and next day highlights on Sky One this year. "Sky viewers will be able to watch coverage of the press conference announcing the winners on Sky News. We look forward to broadcasting next year's Golden Globes ceremony on Sky." |
