"The 65th Annual Golden Globes Awards" have been drastically scaled down.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced on Monday that instead of their usual televised annual bash, they will announce this year's recipients during an hour-long press conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, beginning at 6 p.m. PST on Sunday, January 13. ET has also learned that there will be no red carpet and no Globes parties either.

"The 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards" NBC telecast and champagne dinner in The Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom is officially cancelled. The action was taken as a result of the writers strike, and followed SAG's announcement last Friday that its members would not cross a picket line.

"We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," said JORGE CAMARA, president of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. "We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled."
