Hollywood, CA (CaymanMama-Press Release Distribution Service) -The Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Monday said that the traditional Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be replaced with the format of news conference.

“We are very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and millions of viewers’ worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars celebrating 2007’s outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television”, said Jorge Camara, the President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

He said that though we do take some comfort in knowing that the Golden Globe Award recipients of this year will be awarded and announced on the originally scheduled date. The show is all set to be aired on Sunday.

By facing the threat of actors boycotting the ceremony with fairly cross picket lines, the NBC and Association were strained to implement another approach for the ceremony. The Association will also be dealing with giving the typical payment network that it received from the broadcast, which is reported to be $5 million. This information was generated by a person close to the show who was not authorized to comment and requested anonymity. He further said, “the NBC will have exclusive electronic rights to the show will be able to sell advertising for it”. But the stars are free to attend the Critics’ Choice Awards and are not covered by any guild contracts. The awards will be presented in 18 different categories including acting ensemble, composer, comedy film, best song and best young actor and actress.
