Statue watchers are abuzz with the blogosphere’s prediction that if the WGA Strike isn’t resolved soon, the 2008 Golden Globes (currently set for January 13) will be cancelled. SAG and DGA members are unlikely to cross picket lines for the event, which traditionally employs WGA writers. Plus the WGA would stage a massive picket at the event, and those folks definitely won’t be dressed as well as Jessica Biel.

Jigga what! No Globes? How will fashionistas cope? At least designers will save millions on stamping celebs with their custom outfits. But how will the industry deal with this latest development? Hopefully the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will apply pressure to the cash-rich overlords at the AMPTP to get this resolved quickly. After all, the HFPA really has no purpose beyond the Globes ceremony. Looking further in the future though…no Oscars? Let’s not talk about it. I wouldn’t want Ryan Seacrest to have a coronary.
