Stars Are Shunning the Golden Globes

Certain celebrities will not be attending the Golden Globes due to the writer’s strike.

The Golden Globes, which will take place on January 13, may suffer from the Writer’s Guild of America strike, if it actually does take place.

Several stars plan to boycott the awards ceremony to support the striking writers.  Katherine Heigl, who plays Izzie Stevens in the popular television series Grey’s Anatomy, does not plan to attend the Golden Globes.  Heigl was also one of the 10 most fascinating people of 2007, according to Barbara Walters.  Last Wednesday (December 12), Heigl was seen at the picket line with the writers.  She said, "I’m not crossing the picket line, not unless I’m contractually obliged to do, which, for the Golden Globes, I’m not."

As of now, the 65th annual Golden Globes ceremony is scheduled to be televised live on NBC.
