Maybe they'll be able to hire better writers now.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Distribution dollars are nothing like what you get for an in house product. These deals make the studio execs look over their shoulders to see who is going to cave next. It creates chaos for the execs. They are competitors first.
It is all good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, there are people who work in the industry who might appreciate the acknowledgment of their work. IJS.
I think the point is that we'll still get the public acknowledgement of the winners in the announcement format, but without the 20 minute montages of (e.g.) Cowboys On Film.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Heh.
Just in case anybody cares what coverage the strike is getting in the UK - I haven't been reading newspapers recently, so can't comment on that, but I've seen reports on it this week and last on the main news bulletins. Channel 4 news ran a piece with Letterman on their 7pm programme the other day, and the BBC One ran a piece at 6pm today about the Golden Globes, with picket line interviews of writers and George Clooney in support of the WGA.

Can someone explain the difference (if any) between the Critic's Choice awards and the GGs? I mean, why one was ok and the other not?

Yep. That's exactly what I meant.

But would people really dress up for a red carpet just for our enjoyment?
I suggest that several big A-list stars have parties that night and let the press cover the arrivals much like a red carpet and winners can be announced at a press conference that would be broadcast during said parties. We wouldn't see reactions of winners or losers, but who cares?

I read somewhere (I think Alan Sepinwall's blog ETA: It was in the comments here: [link] that VH1 which aired the Cirtics Choice awards, is not a WGA signatory and Dick Clark Productions, which produces the GGs, is.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Isn't that the plan?
