NBC Others consider suing WGA
From the muckraking desk of Nikki Finke:
"So what happened," an NBC source explains, "is a week and a half ago we were approached and asked, if they [the HFPA and Dick Clark Prods] decide to take legal action, would we join their lawsuits. And we said no. And that's it. But they did come to us." cited here.
According to other sources, however, this wasn't entirely accurate. That is until Deadline Hollywood posted about the potential lawsuit on Tuesday.
The hidden story in all of this is that a union an be sued for going on strike? Why stop at the Golden Globes? Why not sue a union for lost revenue? Why doesn't GE and Disney sue for all those shows they couldn't make?
