Globes Update - What's Happening With the Strike
The 65th Annual Golden Globes will go ahead on January 13th, but many a star - nominated or otherwise - will not be filling the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The stars are lining up in droves to support the Writers Guild of America, who have been striking for at least a month and a half over not getting a cut in Internet downloads of the shows they work on. A threatened picket line by the WGA has made several stars up for a Globe announce they will not be attending. Confirmed stars not attending: Keira Knightley, out of respect for her writer mum; Medium's Patricia Arquette; Australian stars Cate Blanchett, Rachel Griffiths and Russell Crowe; Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, John Travolta and Johnny Depp. The American Screen Actors Guild has announced a "unanimous" decision by the stars listed above, as well as others, to boycott the Globes this year.
