WGA nixes Golden Globes deal, resumes plans to picket telecast

"As previously announced, the Writers Guild will be picketing the Golden Globe Awards," the guild just announced, nixing the offer of a deal that would've permitted the telecast to continue according to terms similar to ones that now permit David Letterman's show to resume regular operation.

"Dick Clark Productions is a struck company," added the guild statement. "The WGA has great respect and admiration for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but we are engaged in a crucial struggle that will protect our income and intellectual property rights for generations to come. We will continue to do everything in our power to bring industry negotiations to a fair conclusion. In the meantime, we are grateful for the ongoing support of the Hollywood talent community."
