(AGI) - Los Angeles, 8 Jan. - The Hollywood scriptwriters’ strike has a famous victim now: the Golden Globe ceremony scheduled for next Sunday has been annulled and replaced with a press conference of an hour to be broadcast live by NBC News.This decision was announced by NBC News and by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) - which is the organiser of the Golden Globe, a classic anticipation of the Academy Awards.
Even the ceremony of the Academy Awards scheduled for 24 February risks to become an hostage of this ruthless negotiation, and there is the concrete possibility of a ceremony without many interventions and without many stars. The traditional dinner including the show of the Golden Globes could have been boycotted by approximately sixty actors and possible winners such as George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie and Julie Christie, who intended to express their solidarity with the Hollywood scriptwriters on strike since 5 November. Their trade union - the Writers Guild of America - was ready to picket and sabotage the event, and this induced many actors to try to avoid a clash with a fundamental component of Hollywood. Now even the Academy Awards - a symbolic night for Hollywood - is at risk: if no way out is found for the negotiation the danger is that John Stewart - the comedian who will present the show - will be left with very few protagonists.
