Are those Gloden Globes in your pocket....

The Golden Globe Awards were presented with much less fanfare than usual last night in Beverly Hills. Since the ongoing Writers Guild strike forced the cancellation of the annual awards show, the winners were announced by entertainment news personalities at a news conference. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the awards, vowed that the glitzy ceremony would return next year.

Cable ruled the top TV awards. AMC's Mad Men was named best drama, while RICKY GERVAIS' HBO series Extras was the winner in the musical/comedy series category.

Nice Globes!, part trace!

There won't be any Golden Globes ceremony on NBC this year. After last-ditch talks with the striking Writers Guild of America union fell through, organizers of the awards event announced the glitzy ceremony would be replaced with an hour-long press conference broadcast live by NBC News.

Look for that at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, January 13th.The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is responsible for the Golden Globes, was forced to alter the event after all 72 of this year's nominated actors expressed solidarity with the striking writers through the actors' union, the Screen Actors Guild, and announced they wouldn't cross the picket line.

In announcing the switch to a bare-bones press conference to hand out awards in 25 categories, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president JORGE CAMARA said, quote, "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 favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television."

By using a press conference format and billing it as an hour-long NBC News report, award organizers and NBC had hoped some nominees would reconsider participating. Writers in NBC's news division are not represented by the Writers Guild of America, so technically, participating stars wouldn't be crossing the WGA picket line.

Nice Globes!, part duex!

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.
