The Show Won’t Go On

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced yesterday that this year’s Golden Globe Awards telecast on NBC has been cancelled.

What will I watch, writers strike?

In lieu of a glitzy ceremony featuring the likes of Brangelina, Clooney, and Roberts, all we will get is an hour-long HFPA press conference covered live by NBC News that will air at 9 p.m. EST.

“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,” said Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.”

Did he really say “deprived”? Jinkees!

“We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year’s Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled,” Camara added.
