NBC has finally thrown in the towel and announced that its not going to air the Golden Globes ceremoney, therefore basically cancelling them. The reason is because of the WGA strike. Even though the awards are mostly actor rewards, the SGA has agreed to not cross the picket line so since no actors are going to the award show, what is the point of airing them.
Instead, NBC will air a modified schedule to replace its planned pre-show, then show programming for this Sunday. From 7-8 PM, Dateline will air with clips and interviews of nominees. Then 8-9 PM, a retrospective clip show. 9-10 PM will be the clip/announcing of the winners. 10-11 PM will be an "Access Hollywood" style thing on the various Golden Globe parties that normally start after the show. I guess going to parties about the show that no one is allowed to attend isn't considered crossing the picket line.
Personally I think NBC should just give up and do at most an hour of programming on the Golden Globes and just air repeats or sports in the remaining timeslots.
