The Golden Globes telecast, Hollywood's biggest party of the year, has been canceled, DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com reported Monday (January 7), after weeks of bitter acrimony between striking writers, Globes organizers the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and broadcast partner NBC.

Instead of a televised awards show, the HFPA will instead make an announcement of the winners, which will be broadcast on NBC News as part of a "stripped-down" ceremony, the Web site reports. As a news event, this will presumably allow for winners to accept their awards and then head over to a press room for interviews and photos.
