The Golden Globes ceremony has been cancelled and replaced with a news conference because of the strike by writers over royalties.
The winners will now be revealed at an hour-long press conference replacing the usual dinner and ceremony.
Actors had said they would not cross picket lines in support of writers.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been on strike since November over "residuals" - royalties for work distributed online or on DVD.
The dispute has brought to a standstill the production of nearly all TV comedy and drama shows.
