The Writer's Guild Of America has agreed to an interim agreement with the producers of the upcoming Grammy Awards which will mean that union writers will be able to work on the show. The Guild, whose strike action caused the Golden Globes to be cancelled earlier this month, of course, had already said they would not picket the US music industry's big night out, and the agreement between the Guild and the US Recording Academy will further distance the Grammys event from the ongoing strike action.
Confirming a deal had been done, Recording Academy top bloke Neil Portnow said this: "The Recording Academy is gratified by the WGA's decision to grant the interim agreement we requested for our milestone 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Having our talented writers on the team further ensures the highest level of creativity and innovation, something our audience has come to expect every year. Music fans worldwide can look forward to an amazing lineup of artists and performances on February 10, making our 50th anniversary show one of the most memorable ever".
