How will the world go on? How? Actor awards telecast canceled

[RB TexLa]

I guess the world will have to be a "darker place," without viewing the actors on TV. :rofl:


UPDATE: NBC And Hollywood Foreign Press Cancel Televised Golden Globes Hoopla; Big Show Scrapped In Favor Of Stripped Down News Telecast

"There will be a press conference this afternoon announcing that the Globes Awards ceremony will not go on. Here is the plan:
At 9 PM there will be a press conference covered by NBC News announcing the Golden Globe winners. (9pm-10pm)
At 8 PM, we are negotiating with Dick Clark Enterprises for a one-hour retrospective/clip show.
At 7 PM, we will air a Dateline with clips and interviews with nominees. (Currently scheduled to air for two hours on Saturday night.)
At 10 PM, we will broadcast an "Access Hollywood" style, Golden Globes party show...visiting the various parties in Hollywood

3. you might find this funny

but there are a lot -- A LOT -- of people who rely on the Awards season to make the bulk of their yearly income. Without it they're basically screwed financially.

People and their families are getting hurt -- and hurt HARD -- by this, but, because they're "silly actors" in your book, I guess that's okay.

7. Honestly. I think it's about the crappy state of affairs.

I keep looking at ads for shows like Gossip Girl and Cashmere Mafia and The one with Donald Sutherland and going WTF? People don't have heat. They are paying more than they can afford for basic necessities.

And yet Bush and Co are bailing out the banks by "helping the ARMs borrowers" with their problematic mortgages.

People don't want to see Marie Antoinette and entourage flaunting their wealth in front of them when they are eating oatmeal for dinner.....again.

"Let them eat Nouvelle, it will trim their waistline."
