From Stuff.Co.Nz:

Some of the biggest names in film and television have refused to cross promised picketlines in support of striking writers.

The Writers Guild of America strike, which began November 5, has effectively shut down Hollywood.

Faced with the boycott, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced this week that the awards ceremony planned for January 13 would be replaced by an hour-long news conference announcing the winners of the 65th annual Golden Globes awards.

Paquin, 24, is nominated in the best supporting actress category for her role in the television movie Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.

A publicist for Paquin said the young New Zealand actress was standing firm with colleagues, refusing to cross a Writers Guild of America picketline.

“Anna will not be crossing a picketline,” the publicist said.

Asked if this meant she would decline an award, the publicist repeated: “It means that she will not cross a picketline.”
