So I'm wondering: Now that the Screen Actors Guild has asked (told) members not to attend the Golden Globes, who will be showing up to this primetime schnorr-fest? I suppose the executives from the Big Bad Studios. They will be very lonely....

SAG boss Alan Rosenberg has released a statement, saying the following:

"After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters."

To condense this to a single word: BOOM!!

If Rosenberg has some clout amongst the rank and file, and I suspect he does, it's now pretty much over - with the exception of NBC officially pulling the plug.

Here's the Writer's Guild statement:

“We are grateful to our brothers and sisters in SAG for their continued solidarity and support. The entire awards show season is being put in jeopardy by the intransigence of a few big media corporations. We urge the conglomerates to return to the bargaining table they abandoned and negotiate a fair and reasonable deal with writers to put this town back to work.”

RSVP:Marg (married to Alan) will not be attending the Globes this year. Thanks for the invite!
