The Golden Globes Awards announcement will be open to all electronic
media Sunday, a reversal of NBC's intent to cover the strike-affected
event exclusively for television.
"Under the new arrangement, there will be no restrictions placed on
media outlets covering the press conference," the Hollywood Foreign
Press Association said in a brief statement.
The announcement came after behind-the-scenes wrangling between the
association and NBC over the format of the unusual broadcast that was
scaled down from the traditionally glitzy ceremony after actors refused
to cross the threatened picket lines of striking Hollywood writers.
