"After steamrolling through the Golden Globes and threatening the Oscars, the Hollywood writers strike may also deflate a third marquee award show -- the Grammys.
The 50th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled to air February 10 on CBS live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Writers Guild of America spokesman Gregg Mitchell said Monday that Grammy organizers have not asked for a special waiver to allow union writers to work on the telecast but added that such a request likely would be denied."
Ugh...when will they reach an agreement? For the WGA to interfere with what, in the end, is a celebration of music seems a little wrong to me. It's bad enough so many other people have lost jobs over this strike (and both sides are to blame for it), but when you begin to impinge on another industry, that's kinda weak in my opinion.
Thoughts?
