Golden Globes 2008 Cancelled

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 fate of the Globes -- due to be held in Beverly Hills on Sunday -- had been hanging in the balance ever since striking writers confirmed plans to erect picket lines around the awards show last week.
