Other things besides the revolution that won't be televised

The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the Golden Globes ceremony may not be televised. What this means is celebrities could attend and collect their trophies with impunity, which wouldn’t happen were the pageant to be aired, as actors would be loathe to cross the picket line. If it’s not on TV, no picket lines to cross – problem solved.

Except, of course, that NBC wouldn’t reap the advertising dollars (not that they’d get much with a celebrity-free extravaganza) and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association won’t collect its annual windfall.

Plus, there’s that old conundrum: If a celebrity wins an award but there’s no TV audience to see it, does it make a sound?
