Golden Globes ceremony cancelled
This year's Golden Globes ceremony has been cancelled after actors vowed to boycott the event in support of striking Hollywood writers.
The ceremony is to be replaced with a press conference and scaled-back red carpet event, organisers have confirmed
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association said in a statement the hour-long event will be covered by the news division of television network NBC.
The fate of the Golden Globes - due to be held in Beverly Hills on Sunday - had been hanging in the balance ever since striking writers vowed to erect picket lines around the awards show.
On Friday, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced that its members would not cross picket lines set up by writers, who are locked in a bitter dispute with film and television producers.
It immediately called into question plans for the black-tie dinner and awards presentations, which are normally televised live.Hollywood screenwriters have been on strike since 5 November, after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) failed to agree terms for a new contract.
