Golden Globes...Not

What's next? No show at the Oscars?

Well, it looks like next week's Golden Globes won't be so golden after all. No actors in the Screen Actor's Guild will be showing up which leads us to assume that few if any will turn up. Oh boy. You have to pity the producers.

That said, can the same be said of the Academy Awards? Most likely not. No sane actor will want to miss that opportunity, especially if they stand a chance to win. I myself would be rather disappointed if the Oscars are ruined.

Speaking of the writer's strike (which is causing all of this), it's interesting to know what the AMPTP (i.e. their employers) are saying. See also the column on the right hand of the page, with a counting up of how much the WGA strike is costing other people. Also a rather curious comparison of how much an average writer makes as compared to a surgeon (the former, apparently, earns more).
