WGA TO ALLOW WRITER FOR SAG AWARDS SHOW
Wednesday, December 12 2007

The Screen Actors Guild has received a waiver from the Writers Guild of America allowing it to use a writer for its annual awards show on January 27. However, the WGA said it has not made a decision on whether to grant similar waivers in the case of the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards telecasts. "For the time being, it's too preliminary to forecast," a WGA West spokesman told the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. The Globes telecast, however, is scheduled to take place on January 13, two weeks earlier than the SAG affair. (In a related matter, it was announced Tuesday that U.K. satellite broadcaster BSkyB will carry the Golden Globes telecast live for the first time.)
