The Writers Guild of America will not allow its members to write for the February 24 awards show nor the Golden Globes on January 13.
On Monday, the Associated Press cited a guild source, who declined to say when the decision had been made.
Still no word from Academy Award host Jon Stewart, a writers guild member, who has so far honored the strike.
Stewart may not be the only awards show no-show.
Nominee Katherine Heigl said Friday at a screening for her movie 27 Dresses: "I've been asked by my Guild not to cross the picket line, and I really have to respect that.
"But I think I would feel uncomfortable doing that because I think it makes a really big statement I'm not sure I really want to make," she added. "The
reality is, I really want to go – so I really wish that they'd get their waiver."
Yesterday, NBC announced that The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O'Brien will return with new episodes January 2 without writers.
Tell Us: Will you still watch the Golden Globes or Oscars without writers?

If the writer's and the studioheads don't come to some sort of agreement soon, the public will turn to other forms of entertainment to keep them busy- books! What a concept!
Then, they won't need the People's Choice Awards, Golden Globes or the Oscars, because the public won't care!
Enoughs enough!
I was for the writers in the beginning, but now I think this is a deadlock struggle that no one will truly win.
And, the sad thing is, the writer's that really could have benefited from this (plus the misc other people that put together tvs and movies) are having a crummy Holiday season because they are out of work and not getting paid. How ironic.
I can't wait to see what advertisers do about this change in the tv lineup next year. They are not going to pay prime dollars to show commercials during repeats. Without a February or May sweeps month, the studios and networks are going to lose money. Again, how ironic!
Soon this piece of the pie they are all fighting for will be nothing more than a poptart!
