WGA Strike

Expect ratings for the 2008 Golden Globe Awards to plummet this year, especially considering the WGA has denied the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's request to allow comedy scribes to prepare material for the big event.

What does that mean?

It means there will be no scripts from writers for the opening act (or any part of the event) leaving participants with no choice but to improvise.

And the Golden Globes aren't the only ones being affected...

The Golden Globes may be one of the most prestigious awards shows in Hollywood but, this year, many actors and actresses will be strutting down the sidewalk instead of the red carpet.

That's right, a number of Tinsel Town's finest talents have chosen to forgo this year's Golden Globe Awards unless an agreement is reached between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

 Katherine Heigl, who received a nomination for her role on Grey's Anatomy, is just one of the popular stars...

If you've been counting the days until the season premiere of your favorite television show, you might be waiting a little longer than expected.

Members of the Writers Guild of America are packing away their keyboards and shelving their creative ideas until they begin reaping the rewards of their hard work.

Film and television writers have initiated a strike, refusing to work until they receive 2.5 percent of the profits from their shows - up until now, writers haven't seen a penny of the earnings.

How long will the strike last?
