Well with the writers strike there was no big show for the Golden Globes ... did you miss it? Can't say I did.

I get the feeling that the Oscars are going to be cancelled as well. I can recall them being postponed when Martin Luther King was assassinated but never cancelled as far as I remember.
Considering that the last awards show I watched was probably the MTV music awards back in about 1987, I guess I can live without it.
