"We are pleased that the WGA has made interim agreements available for independent production companies. The process established by the WGA permits writers to get back to work, grants the WGA the rights it is seeking on behalf of all writers, and allows certain shows to move forward. The ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ and the ‘Golden Globe Awards’ are similar in structure and are administered in the same way. Worldwide Pants produces ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ for broadcast on behalf of David Letterman, Dick Clark Productions produces the ‘Golden Globe Awards’ for broadcast on behalf of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. CBS does not own ‘Late Show with David Letterman,’ and NBC does not own the ‘Golden Globe Awards.’ "We strongly support the WGA and the efforts they are making on behalf of writers, and applaud the fact that they have agreed to allow certain industry awards shows to move forward with WGA writers and be broadcast. Much like the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Film Independent's Spirit Awards, we want to enter into an agreement with the WGA that will allow the entertainment industry to celebrate the outstanding work of creative individuals in addition to millions of fans nationwide. It is only fair that we be afforded the same opportunity as these other awards shows. "What‘s more, our partners at Dick Clark Productions share in our support of the WGA and their efforts and have agreed to enter into interim agreements for all of their productions, including the 'American Music Awards,’ ‘Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin’ Eve‘ and 'The Academy of Country Music Awards,’ among others. “An interim agreement with the WGA will also help numerous schools and entertainment industry non-profit organisations receive annual donations from the HFPA. Over the last several years the HFPA has contributed approximately $8 million to organisations including The Film Foundation, Sundance Institute, Film Independent, American Cinematheque and schools including USC, UCLA, and Cal Arts. All of these programs will be severely impacted without the funds made available as a direct result of the Golden Globe Awards broadcast.” ********************************************************* **Update as at January 5, 2008** Jorge Camara, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, issued this statement on the status of Golden Globe Awards: “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike. We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate. We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday.” ********************************************************* **MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT** The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that the recipients of Golden Globe Awards in 25 categories will be revealed during an hour-long HFPA press conference at The Beverly Hilton to be covered live by NBC News beginning at 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time on January 13. “The 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards” NBC telecast and champagne dinner in The Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom is officially cancelled. “We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television,” said Jorge Camara, President of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. “We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled.” ******************************************** **Winners announced** The following are the winners of the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
