Thank you Screen Actors Guild

This month's Golden Globe Awards are in jeopardy after striking writers insisted they would continue with plans to picket the Hollywood ceremony.

Organisers hoped last-minute talks with the Writers Guild of America would allow the show to go on, but the union said it would still picket the show.

The Screen Actors Guild also said it would advise stars to boycott the show until the strike dispute is resolved.

The Golden Globes ceremony is scheduled to take place 13 January.

Union leaders had reached a similar deal with talk show host David Letterman's company to allow his Late Show to return to TV this week.

But the WGA, which represents 10,500 film and TV writers, refused, saying it was engaged in a "crucial struggle that will protect our income and intellectual property rights for generations to come".

Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg said: "We will advise our members of their rights with respect to not crossing WGA picket lines and/or not appearing on programmes using non-union writers."

1. Lots of stars have walked the picket lines with the writers
Can't imagine them attending the ceremony and crossing the lines.

4. Way to go, SAG. No matter what union someone belongs to,
they should NEVER cross another union's picket line. If all unions followed the lead of SAG, negotiations would go a lot faster and the working people would have more clout.
