UPDATE: The Golden Globes cancels televised awards show due to lack of movie star participation.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert take back to the airwaves tonight, joining Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Kimmel, who have no deal with their writers. David Letterman and Craig Ferguson, on the other hand, have struck an interim deal with the guild via Letterman's Worldwide Pants production company (because that's the way Hoosiers roll), thumbing their noses at corporate avarice and exposing the despicable lies about crews' jobs for what they are by showing that support for all involved is eminently possible.
Now comes word that Clooney's being an agitator, "credited with inspiring an actors' boycott against film award ceremonies that threatens to reduce next weekend's Golden Globe Awards to a shambles and is jeopardizing the most important event in the Hollywood calendar, next month's Oscars." Ha--right on!
