LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Hollywood scrambled on Tuesday to assess the
fallout from the decision to scrap the glittering Golden Globe movie
and TV awards ceremony and hold only a news conference that few stars
are likely to attend.

Caterers, limousine drivers, stylists, hotels and dozens of
magazines and TV shows found themselves out of work when this Sunday’s
star-studded Golden Globes gala dinner and red carpet walk-up fell
victim to the nine-week-old screenwriters strike.

“There are a lot of people being hurt by this,” said Jack Kyser,
chief economist for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.
He estimated the Golden Globes annually bring in $70-$80 million to the
Los Angeles economy.

“A lot of the parties are being canceled and they can run up to
$200,000 each. There is a big ripple impact from this in terms of hotel
bookings, security guards, parking attendants, beauticians etc.,” Kyser
said.

Industry sources said most of the after parties hosted by movie and
TV studios have been canceled, including those by HBO, Warner Bros/In
Style magazine and NBC, which will televise the truncated awards show.

The exact format of Sunday’s news conference is unclear, but the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which votes on the awards, said
there would be no red carpet for celebrities to strut their stuff and
be interviewed by various celebrity TV shows and magazines.

“The last 48 hours have been crazy,” said Charla Lawhon, managing
editor for In Style magazine, which had to swiftly plug a fashion hole
in its March edition. “Our readers and millions of viewers on
television get true delight in seeing their favorite celebrities in
those dresses.”
