No films, television shows, etc., should be coming out without professional writers producing the material. We all need to support the WGA. Our very wealthy businessmen thinking of themselves as artistes, are fooling themselves. Hopefully, as with our politics in this country, we won’t be so ignorant as to turn our backs on the people who really are our supporters and creators.

The writers create the material that allows the stars to come and schmooze and act cute? Not the stars themselves. And wouldn’t you want the writers to be fairly compensated even at the cost of one Golden Globes if it means many more can go on in the future?

The sooner the entire industry shuts down, the sooner the AMPTP will be forced to get back to the table. I guess in order to hit the studios directly by taking their moneymaking programming off the air, the WGA is eschewing the court of public opinion. (As evidenced by a previous comment — seriously, the writers are at fault for wanting a fair wage for the average writer who currently earns $.04 for each $20.00 DVD — unless there was more than one writer on the project, like on a TV show, in which case the writers all split the $.04? That’s one-fifth of a percent to the writers.)

I love the Golden Globes, and now that they’ve been cancelled, I can honestly say I hope each and every writer in the Guild ends up face down in a puddle of their own waste.
