At this year’s Golden Globe Awards, there won’t be any actors to present or accept the awards. How weird!
The show, set to take place January 13th, will be devoid of any Screen Actors Guild members, meaning that all the nominees and most audience members will be staying home.
SAG president Alan Rosenberg told press, “After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross Writers Guild of America picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters. We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers.”
And with that kind of a situation, it is doubtful if the Golden Globes will be worthwhile. Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced, “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike. We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate. We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday.”
As of now, NBC still plans to run the awards.
