Have no fear: The Grammys [1] are definitely here.

While the striking [2] Writers Guild of America hasn't said its writers can work on the script for the Feb. 10 show, writers definitely won't be picketing the 50th anniversary event [3] thanks to a WGA decision today. That means that musicians and presenters — including those who are also Screen Actors Guild Members, such as Justin Timberlake — won't have to choose between crossing a picket line and staying home.

It's a switch from what SAG and WGA leaders initially planned to do [4], and no reason was given for the change in position. With the picketing concern out of the way, a full lineup of performers is expected soon. [5] Beyonce and the Foo Fighters have already signed on for the show.

Even though the WGA didn't explain the decision, I have to take this as a hopeful sign. Informal negotiations are getting under way [6] this week between writers and producers, and maybe calling off the dogs on the Grammys will help the sides reach a resolution before the Oscars [7].
