NBC To Delay
GOLDEN GLOBES??

I am – Hercules!!

NBC officers are insisting that the Golden Globe ceremonies be televised -- even if the ceremonies have to be postponed, according to veteran journalist Nikki Finke’s sources.

Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg said Friday that his union was “unanimous” in its agreement not to cross the Jan. 13 Globes picket line. This would likely precipitate a star-free ceremony and rob the telecast of what many would argue is its sole reason for existing.

(If Hanks, Nicholson, Cruise, Jolie and their ilk all steer clear of the Globes as expected, one suspects NBC could convince SAG members Bob Saget and Howie Mandel to present at the Globes; both funnymen crossed WGA picket lines this week to promote their game shows on “The Tonight Show” and “Late Night.”)

The WGA said it will not picket the Globes if the ceremony is not televised, but NBC apparently does not see that as an option.

"We are earnestly trying to find a way to telecast the show even if it means pushing the airdate,” an NBC “insider” told Finke. “We haven’t looked beyond that as we are focused on that resolution. We have received support behind the scenes from many in the Hollywood Community to try and work this out."

A postponement could be great news for Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and CBS’ “Comanche Moon,” both of which premiere Jan. 13.

The Oscars, due to be telecast Feb. 24 on ABC, is expected to face a similar dilemma if the strike continues into next month.

Read all of Finke’s story on the matter here.
