[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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?

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.
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.

Isn't that the plan?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
brenda m, I don't think the WGA's decisions right now are about being "fair".
The decisions are about being strategic. Screwing over NBC on the Golden Globes is being strategic. Screwing over VH1 on the unwatched and unnoticed Critcs Choice award just doesn't have any strategic value.

Lovely quote regarding the Golden Globes cancellation:
Earlier Monday, NBC Entertainment cochief Ben Silverman told E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest that the network was "obviously trying to find a solution to satisfy fans of these great movies and all the incredible stars who have worked so hard all year and got this incredible opportunity. "Sadly, it feels like the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom. But NBC wants to try to keep that prom alive."
I have to object to his assertion. I think I'm looking pretty damn cute these days.
