THIS year’s Golden Globes ceremony has been cancelled, according to this Agence France-Presse story.

Here’s an excerpt:

LOS ANGELES–This year’s Golden Globes ceremony is to be cancelled after actors vowed to boycott the event in support of striking Hollywood writers, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website on Monday.

The Times, citing an email sent by broadcasters to studios, reported that the traditional televised dinner and prize presentation had been scrapped in favor of a press conference and a scaled-back event.

The Globes organizers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), and NBC, the event’s broadcasters, were not immediately available for comment.

Ruben Nepales blogged yesterday about the impact the possible cancellation of the Golden Globes telecast would have on the non-profit HFPA’s projects, such as its annual grants for scholarships.
