"LOS ANGELES (AP) - The union representing striking Hollywood writers has denied requests to allow their members to write for the Oscars and the Golden Globes.
The producers of the awards shows had asked the Writers Guild of America to waive a strike rule to allow writers to write for them.
The guild rejected the requests today, saying in a letter to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that granting a waiver "would not advance" the union's ongoing battle with studios to negotiate a new contract.
It also rejected a request to use old movie clips for the Oscars in February.
Writers are in their seventh week of a costly strike."
