The tragic romance "Atonement" leads the pack Sunday night for the Golden Globes with seven nominations. But don't look for Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks and George Clooney on the carpet. The Hollywood writers strike has left one of Hollywood's brightest nights in shambles.
Actors will boycott the ceremony rather than cross picket lines. So the event has been recast as an hour-long announcement that will feature TV news personalities disclosing the winners.
On strike since November, the Writers Guild of America refused to let union members work on the star-studded show.
The nods for "Atonement" included best drama, plus honors for lead actors Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.
The fate of Hollywood's biggest night, the Oscars in February, remains uncertain.
