Writers Guild may block the Grammy Awards

January 15th, 2008 | Category: Award Shows, WGA Strike

This year’s awards season, barely a month old now, has not been a good one for Hollywood. First, the Golden Globes ceremony was reduced to an Access Hollywood special after members of the Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild boycotted the show. Now, it looks like the Grammy Awards ceremony may additionally be in trouble.

It is being reported that the striking guild will probably bar its members from working on the February 10th Grammys telecast. Grammy organizers have yet to ask for a waiver allowing for writers to work on the show. However, according

to a WGA spokesperson, a waiver grant would be unlikely. There is no word whether the WGA will picket the ceremony. whether it does, thereupon SAG members will not cross the picket line. that potentially means another exciting 1-hour infotainment special.

I’m certain members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are sweating a bit now.
