Golden Globes Ceremony Cancelled

So, this might be the strangest “awards show broadcast” ever.  According to DeadlineHollywood, NBC will NOT be broadcasting the Golden Globes ceremony, but will instead broadcast a series of Golden Globe “news” programs.

Here is what will actually air:

– 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.

Remember – NONE of this will be written by WGA members.  It has the potential to be a trainwreck.  No red carpet, no chance for designers to show off their work.  Nothing for E! and TVGuide to do.

America Ferrera is still up for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy Series; I’m still rooting for her, but I’m afraid the actual awards are going to be overshadowed by all of this craziness.
