The People's Choice Awards has chosen to shake up its format because of the ongoing writers' strike. The event will now feature prerecorded acceptance speeches from winners, who will respond to questions sent in by fans. QUEEN LATIFAH, who was previously announced as host, will still participate. The People's Choice Awards, usually a live ceremony, will instead be taped and air January 8th on CBS. The show honors the public's favorite entertainers.
The Writers Guild of America has already decided to not allow its members to write for the Golden Globe Awards, also scheduled for next month, and the Oscars. There have been no signs of progress between the writers and studios in recent weeks, but the WGA said yesterday it hopes to reach agreements with some independent production companies by next week. In fact, DAVID LETTERMAN's production company reportedly will meet with the WGA tomorrow, setting the stage for a possible return in the near future.The writers' strike began on November 5th over such issues as compensation for online programming.
