TED DANSON - DANSON GRATEFUL FOR GOLDEN GLOBES CANCELLATION

DANSON GRATEFUL FOR GOLDEN GLOBES CANCELLATION

Golden Globes loser TED DANSON is grateful he found out he had missed out on an award at home - it meant he could be honest about his disappointment. The star-studded ceremony was cancelled because of the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike, and winners and losers were informed during a televised press conference on Sunday (13Jan08). Danson - a losing nominee in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television - says, "We were at home because of the strike. Which was sad. It was also sad that a lot of shows that could have used the attention, didn't get it. "On the upside, we were at home in our pyjamas drinking wine, and when I lost, I jumped up and screamed, 'I lost, I lost, I lost.' And sat back down. Which was great, because usually you have to look like it's fine."
