Due to threats of writers picketing the event as part of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike , the 65th Golden Globe Awards ceremony was cancelled and replaced by an hour-long press conference to announce the winners . To replace the ceremony , NBC aired the two-hour '' Dateline '' special '' Going for Gold '' ( originally scheduled as counterprogramming for an NFL playoff game the previous night ) . While NBC was initially intended to be the exclusive broadcaster of the press conference , the HFPA ultimately allowed other broadcasters to air it . The decision prompted broadcasts from CNN , as well as E! and TV Guide Network ( who aired pre - and post-show analysis , downsized from their typical red carpet coverage of major awards shows ) . Ultimately , NBC did not air the live , 32-minute press conference , and instead aired an hour-long NBC News special where '' Access Hollywood '' hosts Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell relayed the results over an hour with commercials
