LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- NBC said Monday it plans to air the 65th annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, despite the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

The event, which honors the best in film and television from 2007, is slated to take place Jan. 13.

The WGA, which has been on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers since Nov. 5, has threatened to picket the Globes ceremony if it is telecast and produced by Dick Clark Productions, a struck company.

The threat has sparked an industry-wide fear nominees and presenters will not cross a picket line to get into the ceremony.

Reports have also been circulating that NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the prizes, might cancel the event, hold it privately or produce it for the Internet instead of television.

However, a representative for NBC told E! Online the Globes "show will go on" as planned and declined to discuss contingency plans.

Jorge Camara, president of the HFPA, also told E! there is no intention of scrapping the event.
