NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. were in a meeting Sunday which lasted eleven hours to try to save the Golden Globes from the boycott is facing. NBC is even thinking of abandoning the telecast due to the writers strike.

NBC is urged by the HFPA to abandon the telecast thinking that this will make the Writers Guild of America to lift the picket lines and thus allowing actors to come to the event which is due this January 13, Reuters reports.

The Screen Actors Guild said this Friday that the members won’t cross the picket lines and will support the writers.

The HFPA is formed out of 100 journalists from media outlets outside the U.S. who are organizing the Golden Globe ceremony and select the winners. The Association has been trying to get an interim agreement from the Guild in order to allow the ceremony to take place and to be telecasted, according to New York Post.

NBC’s Chief, Jeff Zucker, said all through weekend that the show will be broadcast.

Late Sunday, NBC was almost ready to give in to the HFPA’s request to take off the air the awards.

The two sides are trying to reach a “middle ground” like a postponement.

If this occurs the Golden Globes will have to take place before the Oscar nominations due on January 22. This will only give a week or two for an interim agreement to be reached or a resolution for the strike to happen.

On Monday NBC is expected to reach a decision regarding the broadcast of the show.

However the HFPA still has hopes that the show will go on.

HFPA president Jorge Camara said on Friday in statement: “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike. We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate. We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday.”
