Golden Globes Buzz: The Blogosphere Says ...

<br>No Golden Globes show? Believe it. Faced with the prospect of picket lines and stars staying home to support the writers' strike, the HFPA and NBC have cancelled the traditional ceremony in favor of a press conference. But who will Isaac Mizrahi grope now? We trolled the Internet to see what bloggers think of a world without our favorite boozy bacchanal.

<br>"We've learned to live without writers, but can we live without ... awards shows? Do we want to live in that cold, red carpet-less place?" - <i>Pareene, <a href="http://gawker.com/341767/golden-globes-canceled"target="_blank">Gawker</a></i>

<br>"I can just see tumbleweeds rolling along the carpet and Ryan Seacrest standing there smoking a cig waiting for something to do. He would probably bitch to the camera man about how it took him an hour to get his hair just right. It's a sad day." - <i>CNH, <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/8449/golden_globes_canceled/"target="_blank">Celebitchy</a></i>

<br>"Well, that sucks. One of my favorite sleeping aids, The Golden Globes, has officially been cancelled from TV." <i>-Michael, <a href="http://dlisted.com/node/21181"target="_blank">dlisted</a></i>

<br>"OK, now we can consider the Golden Globes ceremony officially killed, as organizers have abandoned the bizarre news-special-and-party-report scheme floated earlier today in favor of a one-hour press conference (televised by NBC) that will replace the boozy dinner-and-statuettes orgy we've all come to know and tolerate as we impatiently await the Oscars." - <i>Mark, <a href="http://defamer.com/hollywood/deaths/golden-globes-ceremony-officially-canceled-for-real-this-time-341917.php"target="_blank">Defamer</a></i>

<br>"You might think it's sad, but if I may editorialize: Pay the damn writers what they're worth and this sort of thing doesn't have to happen." - <i><a href="http://www.bigpictureradio.com/2008/01/golden-globes-telecast-canceled.html"target="_blank">The Big Picture With Colin Boyd</a></i>

<br>"Again, I ask, What has this accomplished? It only seems to be that spiteful writers are just out for the kill, without any idea of what they are gaining." - <i>Brad Brevet, <a href="http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/2008_golden_globes_have_been_cancelled"target="_blank">Rope of Silicon</a></i>

<br>"None of the actors or actresses will be there to accept these awards, nor are they expected to show up on this Dateline special (although that might change). So who will Matt Lauer talk to for two hours? Hand-puppets, maybe? That would be cool." - <i>Erik Davis, <a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2008/01/09/from-the-editors-desk-globes-and-gladiators/"target="_blank">Cinematical</a></i>

<br>"A Golden Globes without any A-listers would have been a very dull event indeed. But the wider question is what this means for the Oscars. The Golden Globes is like a flea fart in a hurricane compared to the importance of the Oscars, but could we see the biggest event in the movie calendar not going ahead?" - <i>Olly Richards, <a href="http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=21740"target="_blank">Empire Online</a></i>

<br>"And thus, it has been done. Last night, the Hollywood Foreign Press announced that the typical five-hour spectacle of back slapping, stilted conversation, musical numbers, and applause-filled obituaries will be replaced by an hour-long news conference. No celebrities. No after-parties. No Bruce Vilanch-fueled comedy." <i>- <a href="http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/01/golden_globes_ceremony_parties.php"target="_blank">I Watch Stuff</a></i>

<br>"I feel it is important to give out the awards. Despite the strike and the tomfoolery attached, these actors and writers did earn these awards. Perhaps another set of awards for asshattery should be given out, but I am not naming any nominees." <i>-Rodney, <a href="http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/01/golden-globes-cancelled"target="_blank">The Movie Blog</a></i>
