Stars to boycott Golden Globes

Stars to boycott Golden Globes



Hollywood actors are to boycott this month's Golden Ball Awards to show supporting for striking writers.
Screen Actors Society President Alan Rosenberg said in a statement there was "unanimous arrangement" among actors not to interbreed picket lines countersink up by the Writers Order of America world Health Organization are locked in a bitter contravention with cinema and television producers.
Rosenberg said the boycott would cover entirely nominees up for  playacting awards in the outcome on 13 January.
The Golden Globes is regarded as the second base most important awards show in Hollywood subsequently the Oscars.
The ban would also get over stars acting as presenters.
The conclusion means that nominated A-listers such as Julia Kenneth Roberts, Tom Hanks and George VI Clooney are wholly probably to direct clear of the Globes, greatly diminishing single of the highlights of Hollywood's awards season.
Hollywood screenwriters have been on impress since 5 November after the WGA and the Alliance of Apparent movement Photo and Television  Producers failed to agree footing for a new abbreviate.
Negotiations failed over the writers' demands for an increased share of winnings from Net and new media gross sales.
The two-month walk out has forced the suspension of numerous video series as good as the postponement of work on several Hollywood films.
The WGA confirmed this week that it would go up pickets about the Golden Globes venue at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
It had already announced last calendar month that it would not earmark club members to take part at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
