Variety is reporting that none of the 70+ actors nominated for Golden Globe awards will be present at the Golden Globe ceremony on January 13, 2008, because of the strike by the Writer's Guild of America (WGA). The WGA plans to picket the event, and the actors are deciding not to cross the picket line.

Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg is quoted as saying:

"After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters," he said. "We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers."
