This year's Golden Globes ceremony will be cancelled after actors vowed to boycott it in support of striking Hollywood writers, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website today.
The Times, citing an email sent by broadcasters to studios, reported that the traditional televised dinner and prize presentation had been scrapped in favour of a press conference and a scaled back red carpet event.
The fate of the Golden Globes - due to be held in Beverly Hills on Sunday - had been hanging in the balance ever since striking writers vowed to place picket lines around the awards show last week.
On Friday, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced that its members would not cross picket lines set up by writers, who are locked in a bitter dispute with film and television producers.
