Tina Fey won a Golden Globe for her role of Liz Lemon in 2008. Fey chose not to attend the ceremony for her win due to the 2007—2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The Writers Guild of America, of which Fey is a member, did not grant a waiver to the Golden Globes awards ceremony during the strike and did not let its members attend.[9] Members of the Screen Actors Guild, of which Fey is also a member of, as well as Baldwin, refused to cross Writers Guild picket lines at the ceremony.[10]
