Things are getting ugly in the days leading up to Hollywood's glitziest boozefest, the Golden Globe Awards, thanks to a simmering writers' strike and a host of sympathetic actors who have threatened to stay home.
Will we get a red carpet full of stars next Sunday—or just Andy Dick? We're following the developments minute by minute. As of this second, here's what we know.
Oh, It's On! (Maybe) The show is still technically a go for Sunday, Jan. 13. NBC announced today it still plans to broadcast something, despite widespread talk that the ceremony will be private—or even postponed à la the 2001 Emmys.
Nobody Wants to Party with Picketers: The Writers Guild says it will bring its strike to the Golden Globes bash, filling the sidewalk outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel with picketing scribes. That means if nominees like Cate Blanchett and Rose Byrne decide to go, they'll have to run a gauntlet of protesters. In their four-inch, strappy heels—which appeals to exactly no one.
With only a week to go before the Golden Globes winners are announced, now's the time to stick your neck out and make some very hard choices: George or Denzel? Tina or America? Johnny or Ryan? Nikki, Ellen or Amy?
We've made it easier for you, though. All you have to do is hit the E! Online Predictions Poll and let us know which stars truly have the golden goods.
Bonus: After voting, enter our sweepstakes for a chance to win some fancy prizes. And don't worry, we won't let Clooney know how you voted.
Big day around here. Nominations for the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced by Quentin Tarantino, Hayden Panettiere and Ryan Reynolds—just about the only three people in town not to get a nom. E! Online had it covered, and here's what we learned:
Twelve Movies Were Nominated for Best Picture: Which, you have to admit, is an awful lot. (Read more.)
Lost and Heroes Got the Shaft: Not to mention Desperate Housewives and (save one nom each) The Office and Ugly Betty. TV Diva Kristin Dos Santos has a few ideas on why. (Read more.)
Funny thing about the Golden Globes nominations released this morning: Many of the big movie noms are, in fact, from the Future! Sure, plenty of the TV shows already sitting on your TiVo snagged noms (or didn't, as our TV Diva Kristin points out), but a huge handful of the flicks mentioned haven't even hit the megaplex.
Atonement took the most noms, with seven, but the WWII drama doesn't expand into most markets until tomorrow. And a good half of the other best picture noms—Charlie Wilson's War, The Great Debaters, There Will Be Blood, Sweeney Todd—won't open until at least next week.
We've got the full list of nominees right about here. But are you even going to see them, if and when they come to a theater near you?
The 65th Golden Globes are scheduled for Jan. 13 in Beverly Hills.
