Golden Globes Needs Lots Of Seat Fillers


Today the Screen Actors Guild told its members they should not cross the WGA picket lines to attend the Golden Globe Award program. Previous announcements by SAG had put the onus of whether or not to cross on the individual actor. However, after speaking to most of the nominees and other actors, SAG President Alan Rosenberg said in a statement, "there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross" the picket lines to present or accept an award.

If they are not going to present or accept an award, I guess they could go and get some free food and booze, but there won't be much else to do. NBC has not made an announcement as to whether or not they will broadcast the award show. If they want to kiss the asses of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore they could show three hours of awards being presented and Rumer Willis walking back and forth in front of an empty ballroom. That should be must see television. If NBC decided not to air it, then all the invitees could just go and get together and have one big drink fest and one hell of a party.

  1. NBC will air it because they have nothing left to show. However, I am going to love how they are going to explain the horrible ratings for the award show. Yeah, we were greedy and decided not to cancel and gosh darn it, people wouldn't be suckered watching an award show without the nominees.

    Maybe they can fill those seats with Flavor of Love/I Love New York/Shot of Live with Tila Tequila contestants and have one big nasty Jerry Springer style fight.

  2. Duh, NBC announced days ago it would broadcast the Globes. This is SAG's way squeezing the "globes" to hopefully get the WGA strike resolved. Lots of $$$ for that night. SAG & DGA contracts come up in June.

  4. might be aq good time to get a deal on a lovely gown or tux.

    If this strike continues through the entire award season I'm afraid Rodeo Drive will go into deep depression.

    If Harry Winston would like to "loan" me a milliion dollars worth of jewels, I promise to get my picture taken

  5. I really cannot believe this. Ok, who are they going to have on? EVERYONE is SAG. Seriously, ENT, enlighten me who could possibly attend? It is bothering me, AFTRA cannot attend right? Rumor Willis she is SAG, so she is not supposed to be there. HELP!

  8. josie - ignore him. He'll be back in school on Monday and won't have time to play on mommy's computer anymore. Let him play for one more day. He doesn't have any friends at his Middle School so he's stuck at home.

  9. I had him pegged as more of an impotent, balding middle-aged man stuck in middle management. But, your point is well taken, Kelly.

  12. I'm packed and I'm holding
    I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
    and she lives for me
    She says she lives for me
    Ovation
    She's got her own motivation
    she comes round and she goes down on me
    And I make her smile
    It's like a drug for you
    Do ever what you want to do
    Coming over you
    Keep on smiling, what we go through
    One stop to the rhythm that divides you
    And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
    Chop another line like a coda with a curse
    I come on like a freak show takes the stage
    We give them the games we play, she said
    I want something else
    To get me through this
    Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
    I want something else
    I'm not listening when you say
    Good-bye

    The sky it was gold, it was rose
    I was taking sips of it through my nose
    And I wish I could get back there
    Some place back there
    Smiling in the pictures you would take
    Doing crystal myth
    Will lift you up until you break
    It won't stop
    I won't come down, I keep stock
    With a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
    And then I bumped up
    I took the hit I was given
    Then I bumped again
    And then I bumped again, I said
    How do I get back there to
    The place where I fell asleep inside you?
    How do I get myself back to
    The place where you said

    I want something else
    to get me through this
    Semi-charmed kinda life baby, baby
    I want something else
    I'm not listening when you say
    good-bye

    I believe in the sand beneath my toes
    The beach gives a feeling
    An earthy feeling
    I believe in the faith that grows
    And the four right chords can make me cry
    When I'm with you I feel like I could die
    And that would be all right
    All right

    And When the plane came in
    She said she was crashing
    The velvet it rips
    In the city we tripped
    On the urge to feel alive
    But now I'm struggling to survive
    Those days you were wearing
    That velvet dress
    You're the priestess, I must confess
    Those little red panties
    They pass the test
    So slide up around the belly
    Face down on the mattress

    One

    Now you hold me
    And we're broken
    Still its all that I want to do just a little now,

    Feel myself with a head made of the ground
    I'm scared but I'm not coming down, no no
    And I won't run for my life
    She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
    but nothing is all right
    All right

    I want something else
    To get me through this
    Semi charmed kind of life
    I want something else
    I'm not listening when you say
    Good-bye

    Fuck you, Josie, you cunt.

  13. I just wish the networks would give them their damned money.

  14. The networks need to share with their employees. There are some greedy old folks up there who didn't learn to share as a kid.

    I understand they have already lost over $1 billion! That's alot of money!! Can you imagine loosing that kind of money instead of sharing it with those who are participating?? Can you imagine being so rich that you could loose that amount of money?!?!?!?

    I liked it better when people shared more.
