Did some one actually write for the previous Golden Globe shows? The intros, small talk, forced humor, and dialogue? If that's the case then there has been 65 years of writers being paid for celebrities mispronouncing names and little else. You took the fun, the freedom and the spirit out of the show. We pay the celebrities to show up and "perform." Dog and pony shows need no writers and they need no cue card clichés.
The writers will not make up the money they have already lost for years to come regardless of the resolution. And the guttless "starts" need to remember that they serve at the public's discretion. Grow a backbone, or at least open a dictionary and learn to speak for yourself.

More pathetic politics from the WGA. I wouldn't have expected any less. This is less about principle and more about POWER and POLITICS for the union. What do you expect from a union whose average member makes TWICE as much as a firefighter or teacher?
