Will the WGA allow its members to work on "music's biggest night"?

In hopes of saving the Grammys telecast, the Recording Academy is urging its members to sign a petition to the WGA for a waiver allowing Guild members to script "music's biggest night," the Associated Press reports.

"We will take whatever action is necessary to ensure that a program so vital to our industry, artists, charitable beneficiaries and the great city of Los Angeles is held as planned," Recording Academy President NEIL PORTNOW said.

The WGA previously stated that it probably wouldn't grant a waiver to the Academy, but no final decision has been made, according to the AP. The 50th Annual Grammy Awards are scheduled to air Feb. 10 on CBS.
