Jorge Camara, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which owns and runs the Golden Globe Awards, on Wednesday issued the following statement regarding the in-question state of the annual awards show:
"I am happy to announce that on Saturday morning, December 29, 2007, our
attorneys began discussions with the Writers Guild of America to enter into an interim agreement similar to that entered into by the WGA and Worldwide Pants, which permits writers guild members to go back to work writing for The Late Show with David Letterman. We feel that the Late Show with David Letterman agreement is very reasonable, and hope and expect the WGA will agree to the same terms and ultimately permit the Golden Globe Awards to be broadcast as scheduled, without picket lines, on Sunday, January 13.
"We strongly support the WGA and the efforts they are making on behalf of writers, and
applaud the fact that they have agreed to allow certain industry awards shows to move forward with WGA writers and be broadcast. Much like the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Film Independent's Spirit Awards, we want to enter into an agreement with the WGA that will allow the entertainment industry to celebrate the outstanding work of creative individuals in addition to millions of fans nationwide. It is only fair that we be afforded the same opportunity as these other awards shows."
奥斯卡风向标之一的金球奖将于1月13日举行，而编剧罢工仍然没有停止的倾向，少了编剧的脚本和一些大牌明星，金球奖的可看性无疑要大打折扣。作为金球奖主办方的HFPA是看在眼里急在心头啊，看来今年金球奖不只是在奖项方面会成为奥斯卡的风向标，可能连颁奖礼都能预示出奥斯卡的命运。
