this strike is killing me!
They screwed "The Golden Globes" and now "The Oscars" ... Just Read ... ahhhhh!!! pay the writers already!!!
"A day after the writers strike pulled the rug out from under the Golden Globe Awards, Oscar organizers said Tuesday that preparations for the biggest night on Hollywood's calendar are already behind schedule.
The 80th annual Academy Awards are set to take place in Hollywood on Feb. 24, but not a single bon mot has been written yet. The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since Nov. 5, and there is no end in sight, a potentially calamitous situation for the Oscars.
"I'm not going to cite odds, but our hope is we can work something out or that the strike is resolved in time," said Bruce Davis, executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
"The major change from last year," he said, "is that in a normal year, we'd have assembled a staff of writers, and they would have been working on the show for more than a month."
Following that schedule, writing for this year's show would kick into high gear after the Oscar nominations are announced Jan. 22."
