This is related to my previous post on studios getting sued.

Now that the WGA is officially back behind their desks (it wasn’t officially until last night), NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press may be eyeballing a lawsuit against them. According to Nikki Finke, the two are bitter about the writer’s strike having forced the Golden Globes to become nothing more than a glorified press conference, as opposed to a glorified, televised revenue-generating ass-kissing ceremony of years past.

It’ll be interesting to see what their legal grounds are. I mean, they still had a Golden Globes ceremony, so they can’t say they didn’t get to have that. And I hardly think they can sue because the ceremony wasn’t as grand as before. The only legal ground I can think of is that they’ll sue for loss of profits from ad revenue. Which would just make NBC and HFPA look like even bigger assholes than before.
