Grammys now in play

This award show one seemed to be on safe ground, but now it seems that several big-name recording artists who also have Screen Actors Guild cards - folks like Justin Timberlake and Queen Latifah - are being lobbied by the Writers Guild to not attend the Grammy ceremony on Feb. 10 or to present awards. A WGA spokesman told Ad Age's Claude Brodesser-Akner that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has not requested any waiver that would avoid picketing - and that a waiver is unlikely to be granted.
