NOOOOOOOOO!


Give us a moment. Melissa and I are grieving... Award season is having a very bumpy go this year... The announcement just came down the wire... The Golden Globes committee has planned to not air the regular ceremony due to the writers' strike, which means no red carpet...

Golden Globe Awards organizers plan to abandon the televised formal ceremony this Sunday and replace it with a press-conference announcement of the winners, according to reports Monday. The drastic movie is in response to the Screen Actors Guild announcement that its members would not cross picket lines by the Writers Guild of America, effectively leaving the show without any stars. Instead of the lavish ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will now announce the awards at a press conference broadcast on NBC, the Los Angeles Times and Deadline Hollywood Daily report. NBC also plans a Dateline special on the nominees and an hour-long show covering Hollywood parties, according to the reports, which cite an internal NBC memo. [people]

I'm going to have to medicate myself. Melissa, get me my purple pills.
