This year’s Golden Globes ceremony won’t go ahead amid the writers’ strike over residual royalties. Organisers say the event will be replaced with a news conference announcing the winners. The Screen Actors’ Guild, the union representing Hollywood actors, had said its members would boycott the Awards to show solidarity to the Writers’ Guild of America (WGA). WGA members have been on strike since early November in dispute over residual royalties – for content distributed online or released on DVD. The dispute has virtually halted the production of TV comedy and drama shows. Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association which organizes the Golden Globes, said there was disappointment that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars.
