We have come to appreciate the Golden Globes as the most exciting award show of the season. The dinner party, the laid-back vibe, the drunken acceptance speeches. What will we do now? As the writer's strike looms on it continues to effect everything we know and love. On Monday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and NBC were forced to create an "acceptable" show format, or the show would be picketed by the WGA. They are scrapping the traditional celeb filled dinner party! It is reported by the Associated Press that the show set to air this Sunday will take on a "Dateline NBC" format: interviews with the nominees, a news conference announcing the winners and coverage of the after parties. This means no fabulous fashion, no crazy acceptance speeches, no excitement about finding out which celebs are friendly with one another. Just a news conference. The nominated actors confirmed that if the Globes took on it's normal format and the WGA had a picket line they would absolutely not cross it. As boring as this revamped format is I must say, in an industry where every man is out for the dollar it is nice to see a act of solidarity such as this one.
