The biggest loser at next Sunday's Golden Globe Awards could be NBC. With the event less than a week away, plans for the ceremony are still up in the air because of the writers' strike. An announcement from Golden Globe organizers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, could come by midday today. The actors' union has already said its members likely will not cross picket lines to either present or receive awards at the Globes.
One possible resolution, according to Variety, could be to turn the Globes into a non-televised event, which would likely garner the approval of the striking Writers Guild of America. But that obviously would not be the best-case scenario for NBC, which declared last week that it still planned to air the show on January 13th. NBC, the network home of the ceremony since 1996, brings in millions in ad revenue with the annual telecast.
Dick Clark Productions, which produces the Globes, criticized the WGA on Friday for allegedly treating it differently than DAVID LETTERMAN's production company, whose Late Show on CBS is back on the air under an interim agreement with the Writers Guild.
