WGA's options span the Globes

December 13, 2007 If the WGA doesn't grant the awards show a strike waiver, the group is considering pitching the show to talent as a platform to stand in solidarity with writers -- a move that could turn the podium and red carpet at the Beverly Hilton into a de facto picket line. The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., of course, is hoping for a full waiver that would allow the Globes to go on as it normally would. But instead of putting talent in an tough position where they have to choose between attendance and a boycott in support of the writers' cause, HFPA would offer them a third option: support the strike by coming to the Globes and possibly even speak out in favor of the writers there.
