Re: Could there be no oscar or golden globe awards this year? Quote: Though the Golden Globes were cancelled, the Oscars are determined to proceed as planned.
Show producer, Gil Cates, said on Tuesday, "We are going to do it,. I can't elaborate on how we're going to do it, because I don't want anybody to deal with the elaboration in a way that might impact its success.â€Â
He said the show was "the most unique show on American television†and added: "It has been on through wars and through presidential assassination attempts. It would be shameful if the Oscars were in any way impacted.â€Â
However, that is what may happen.
The Writers Guild has denied the Academy Awards an interm deal and they will likely picket it. The actors won't cross the picket line.
Studio honcho Harvey Weinstein counters, "No matter what anybody says, if the WGA goes on strike and SAG is in support, then there's no Oscar show. It's as simple as that.'"
Sid Ganis, academy president, remains hopeful. "We're not panicking. We're preparing our show, and we're moving forward," he says.
He said it was more likely that the guild would ultimately agree to let its writers work on the Oscars.
That's not gonna happen.
The Oscars are scheduled to air February 24th.

Re: Could there be no oscar or golden globe awards this year? Cates is right. The Oscars went on in times of actual national struggle. A fucking writers' strike shouldn't stop it from happening.
But honestly, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it did.

Re: Could there be no oscar or golden globe awards this year? if the Oscars go on, I won't be that upset with the writers' strike. It's not like their overall picketing affects me in any way, aside from the Globes. If that translates to the Oscars receiving the same fate, I won't be able to help but get pissed.

Re: Could there be no oscar or golden globe awards this year? wow. we are in the third month now, right?
I really do wonder if it's going to last till the Oscars.
Is it safe to assume the actors will not cross picket lines just like the Golden Globes or will some actually go?

Re: Could there be no oscar or golden globe awards this year? You know who I feel bad for.....Marion Cotillard.
Because they picketed the Globes, she lost the one night she'll most likely have in her life where she would have had true international fame for her incredible work.
But she got nothing.
