Golden Globes set for new format in face of writer's strike
The Golden Globes and broadcasting giant NBC is poised to scrap the traditional show format to be picketed by striking writers, in favour of a news conference approach, a person close to the awards said.
Faced with a threat by actors to boycott the ceremony rather than cross picket lines, organisers were forced to look at other approaches that would preserve the star power of the unofficial kick-off to the Hollywood awards season.
