Golden Globes: no stars, no show!

The Golden Globes have fallen victim to the writers' strike: there will be no show, simply an hour-long press conference on 13 January revealing the winners.

In a press release, Jorge Camara, president of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said: “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. We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year’s Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled.”

The Oscar ceremony is just six-and-a-half weeks away: the chances of that not happening have just increased significantly...

I would love it if there wasn't an Oscars ceremony this year, but I can't believe it would happen, or that studio bosses would let it happen...but you never know!

In another question; does the writers strike mean that there will be a 'dark age' at some point later this year where there will be no films in production or being shown?
