Medium

The fourth season of NBC's supernaturally endowed crime-solving drama, Medium, returns at 10 tonight.  As previously reported, Academy Award winner Angelica Huston will be a featured guest in a six-episode story arc, where she will play an investigator looking into the case of a missing boy.

As Medium returns to its original Monday night time slot after a year spent airing on Wednesdays, it's lead star, Patricia Arquette, also has cause to celebrate with a nomination at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.  Despite the honor however, the actress likely won't be around for the awards show as she chooses to express her solidarity with the still-striking writers.

"It's like a pinnacle of your career and nice recognition from your own industry, so I don't want to pooh-pooh that," Arquette said about her nomination for her work on Medium.

However, while she acknowledges the prestige and significance of having been named among the contenders, the actress could not, in good conscience, muster up the enthusiasm to show up for the awards in light of current events.

"Selfishly, that's a really nice thing.  But I don't feel I could show up unless there's some kind of agreement made with the writers.  So many families are suffering right now, and the sooner both sides come to the table and come to a reasonable resolution, the better for everyone,” Arquette declared.

"I feel very torn, because I know the Golden Globes committee and the Hollywood Foreign Press is doing everything in their ability to try to come to an agreement with the writers, and the writers really don't want to because of the impact of shutting down the production for the night.  It's a very uncomfortable, awkward situation," the actress added.

When asked whether we might see her joining the picket lines though, Arquette said “No, I would not be on the picket line."

The Golden Globes takes place on Sunday, January 13.
