The board of directors for the Writers Guild of America is about to sign an interim agreement that would make the Feb. 10th Grammy Awards ceremony picket-free. A similar dispensation was granted for the Screen Actors Guild and the upcoming NAACP Image awards ceremonies.
The Golden Globes, however, suffered a much different fate as they were reduced to a press conference when the WGA did not agree to a deal. It is also quite likely the same decision will be made regarding the Academy Awards. The Oscars' producers have vowed to have the show, regardless. The Academy Awards show is Feb. 24th. The strike between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has been going on since Nov. 5th of last year. Formal talks between both parties broke down in December.
