The same prospect now hangs over the Oscars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No matter what anybody says, if the WGA goes on strike and SAG is in support, then there&#8217;s no Oscar show. It&#8217;s as simple as that,&#8221; said Harvey Weinstein, whose former company Miramax was a frequent Oscar winner and who now runs the Weinstein Co.<\/p>\n<p>He said it&#8217;s more likely the guild ultimately would agree to let its writers work on the Oscars. But Patric Verrone, president of the Writers Guild of America, West, said the union would turn down any request from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its members to work on the Oscars.<\/p>\n<p>Gil Cates, producer of the Oscar broadcast, said the academy will put on its Oscar show Feb. 24 as planned \u2014 with or without the writers. &#8220;We are going to do it,&#8221; Cates said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t elaborate on how we&#8217;re going to do it, because I don&#8217;t want anybody to deal with the elaboration in a way that might impact its success.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/entertainment\/7092571.stm\">BBC News Q&amp;A on the WGA Strike<\/a><br \/>\n&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/01\/08\/arts\/television\/08cnd-globes.html?ex=1357448400&amp;en=9f49b73c758fc537&amp;ei=5088&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss\">New York Times report on the cancellation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is official &#8211; the Golden Globes will not be broadcast on TV because of the WGA strike.
