The annual ceremony is one of the biggest in the awards calendar and a great night for celeb fashion but this year it will be replaced by a press conference this Sunday as a result of the ongoing writers' strike.
Organisers announced their decision on Monday (07Jan08) to avoid a celebrity-less event after the the Writer's Guild of America confirmed the 70 award nominees will not cross the picket line to attend.
The 65th annual Golden Globe Awards had been due to take place at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California. Instead, a news conference will take place to announce the winners of each category.
Spokesman Jorge Camara says, "We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television.
"We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled."
