Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Charlie Wilson's War

Is someone crazy-i know i am!! It is a serious, drama-category film, not a musical nor a comedy... Please someone check and correct this. Misibacsi (talk) 21:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strike

is the actual ceremony still going ahead. i read on the 2007 writer strike page that the union wont give its members waiver and there will be no presenters or accepters. without them doesn't it leave the whole thing a bit redundant --Irishboi (talk) 02:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

The article doesn't say why the writers' strike forced the cancellation. Is it because the writers are needed to write the filler dialog and jokes between award annoucements? Or is it because of some sort of union rule about actors appearing on a show without the show having been written by union writers? Or are the writers not allowed to appear on TV without a contract, and the actor's union standing with them? I'd really like to see a sourced reason. Thanks, Aipzith (talk) 15:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added a paragraph on this. Feel free to modify it. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was about compensation for things on the internet that where based on what writers wrote.

lock

Page is locked - yet it doesn't have that template saying so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.226.235 (talk) 14:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible

I'll have to say this was the WORST nominations ever! What the heck is Marion Cotillard, La Vie En Rose? Ryan Holloway (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And a better question, is why they thought we'd like watching an episode of "Extra". Westleyd (talk) 02:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

maybe you should open your mind and actually watch Extras. It is a hilarious show and it obviously won for a reason. You are probably the reason that good, smart shows like Arrested Development get kicked off the air. Thanks for ridding our airwaves of quality shows.

Early Results

How did we get the winners on here before the award presentment was over? Can someone make sure we find the actual release from goldenglobes.org afterward, and confirm accuracy + reference?Westleyd (talk) 02:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible the winners came from the website[1]. --Pixelface (talk) 03:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then. I missed that this link was available on goldenglobes.org midway through the presentation. But it was in fact there on a version of the page I'd loaded while watching the show.Westleyd (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
