"After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines," SAG President Alan Rosenberg said.

The 70 actors nominated for awards at the January 13 presentation will not cross picket lines in a show of solidarity with the writers, who have been on strike since November 5 halting production on dozens of television shows and top movies.

"As I have said since this strike began on November 5th, we must stand united with our brothers and sisters at the WGA," Rosenberg said in a statement.

The dispute is estimated to be costing more than 20 million dollars a day. There's no end in sight for the seven-week Writers Guild of America strike which has crippled the movie industry. Negotiations between the striking Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers have failed once again on Dec. 7 and talks broke off.

The WGA are pushing for more residuals from new media distribution (such films or TV shows sold online), while producers reject the guild's demands as unworkable and too expensive. Also, the WGA-requested compensation package for DVD sales would cost about $220 million over three years, a small fraction of the around $24 billion in revenues generated by U.S. DVD sales and rentals over the last year.

According to a Reuters report, HFPA president Jorge Camara said a fix to the problem might come as soon as Monday.

"We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present," Camara said. "We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday."

Representatives of the striking screenwriters last month refused to issue a waiver to produce a script for the awards show organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is seen as second in importance among the awards only to the Oscars.
