im sorry to hear about what has happened. hope you are ok and your father as well and family…my thoughts are with you. . .
My best to you and your father. I hope there’s a turn for the better.
That’s sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and especially, your father.

Nikki, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Much love to you and your family.
jj
My heart goes out to you. But I hope that you can also try to discover charity and kindness in yours. You can be so vicious and unkind to other people, people who have fathers themselves, who have feelings and who are just like you. I will say a prayer for you and your father tonight. But try to be a little more empathetic in the NEw Year (you hurt someone I love very savagely in a post earlier this year in ways that you can never know).
Best wishes,
Karen
I truly wish you and your father the best.
Sending my best
My thought and best wishes are with you. What a way to start the new year.

In life we find meaning, memories restore us. The process often shakes one’s soul, but no matter the outcome, understand this it is (God’)s way of reminding us of our humanity. (God) bless you in your time of need.
I lost my mother to lung cancer this year Nikki so I know what serious illness does, not just to the individual but to the family.

Karen @ 7:17pm
I’m appalled at your lack of grace.
A death in the family is no time to write tacky, snotty words to a person.
Who are you to judge Nikki Finke? This is her site and it is by her grace she gives you a forum to make comments and you use this to criticize her on the day her father dies?
How utterly gross of you.
I don’t know Nikki, I’m not a friend sticking up for her. I’m simply a human being who is utterly disgusted by the words you wrote.
Very sorry to hear about your loss.
Dear Nikki,
I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family at this tragic time.
So sorry for you and your family’s loss. Our thoughts are with you.
my thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you. as much as this industry likes to believe the opposite, there are many more important things in life than it. take all the time you need.
Dear Nikki,
I am sorry to learn of your father’s death. My father was the most important person in my life. When he died I lost a hero. I hope that the memories you have of your father are beautiful ones, and that over the next few days as you reflect upon your loss you find comfort in his eternal love for you.
Cory O’Connor
don’t you worry about anything. I’m sure your father was very proud of you for all your work and deserved recognition. don’t worry about dhd. you take care of yourself and your family.
Nikki,
My condolences to you and your family. Take all the time in the world. Family always comes first, and Hollywood (and all its associated BS) will still be here when you return.
Take care,
BK
Love, thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Nikki.
Nikki -
I don’t know you personally, but lost my own Dad a few years ago and want you to know that I am thinking of you with thoughts and condolences. My sincerest sympathies to you and your family. I can only hope that the love of family and memories of your dad are enough to give you peace and strength at this time.
Your devoted readers like myself will wait patiently until you are ready to come back. We appreciate that someone in this business calls it the way it really is but above all – we know the same BS will still be here when you get back.
Nikki, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my father a few months ago and I know what a difficult and trying time you’re going thru. Just remember he’s in a better place now, free of pain, free of suffering, and full of all the love you and your family have for him.
Stay strong.
I’m sorry for your loss.
All best wishes, Nikke. And a flip of the bird to the poster by name of Karen, you hypocrite, who folds a morality lecture inside a fake condolence inside a godly prayer. Today is not the day for this.
Condolence to you and your family.
Karen, why don’t you try practicing some of that charity and kindness you are so quick to preach to others.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope your good memories of your time with him are a source of comfort for you and your family.
I’m very sorry about your loss. My deepest condolances.
LOVE AND FAMILY FOREVER STAYS.
IN THESE MOST TRYING OF DAYS.
OUR CONDOLENCES COLLECTED,
IN THESE POSTS SO REFLECTED.
WE ARE WITH YOU, DEAR NIKKI– ALWAYS.
Nikki, I’m so sorry. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
I just discovered your site today and I’m really digging it and then I saw that sad note at the bottom of the page. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I’ll have the family say a special prayer tonight. I’m sure your dad was very proud of you.
Nikke, I’ll be praying for your family!
Sending lots of good wishes your way and to your family as well.
Nikki-longtime reader, occasional commenter, always appreciative of your work in any form. Just wanted to add a message of deepest sympathies to you on the passing of your father.
You’ve done a lot of great posting here throughout all of this, and that’s a feat of strength and courage. Please take care of yourself.
So sorry for your loss, Nikki. We are all thinking of you and sending loving thoughts and prayers for you and your dad.
so very sorry 4 your loss.our prayers are with you
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
All our prayers and sympathies to you and your loved ones.
Nikki,
My Dad passed away a year and a half ago.
I send you all my prayers and all my blessings
during this sad time.
I will be saying a prayer for your dad.
All my best,
Gary
My thoughts are with you — Please hang in there and take it one day at a time. Sometimes it needs to be one minute at a time.
So sorry to hear about your father, Nikki. My family’s thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
My deepest condolences.
You and your family are in my prayers, Nikki.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am thankful for your site.]
I am sure your Father is very Proud.
I am sure he will be with you always.
I am sure sure you know his love.
I am sorry for your pain.
Nikki,
As their will always be jerks in the world(who write negative things about a loved ones death),there is always love and time.
Love and time are the two things in our lives we never get enough of.
Once time is gone it can never be replaced, the same can be said of love.
But at least you had the love of your father in your life. That’s special and it made you the person that you are today and continue to be as you move forward.
I’m sorry I’ll never get a chance to meet your father and to thank him for his part in what you done with your quest and talents for the truth.
Your father’s time is done, but his love is not. You carry it in your heart.
Keep living it the way you do, cause noone else does they way you do.
We’ll always have time for the great work you do with the love of telling the truth.
So take your time with the loss. We understand.
Scott
Our prayers are with you Nikki. I hope you made it back home in time to say goodbye.
My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Nikki, please know that we are all here for you through this melancholy time. Take as much time as you need; none of this matters in the long run. All that is of importance is the life and love we share and have shared with those that matter and mattered most in our lives.
My sincere condolences and thoughts go out to you and your entire family, Nikki.
Nikki,
Deepest condolences on your loss. May your father’s memory be a blessing in your life. He must’ve been very proud of the passionate fighter his daughter had become.
And don’t worry about us. Your readers will be waiting for you whenever you are ready to come back.
JT
Nikki, I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I wish you and your family the best in this new year despite this incredibly sad start.
And “Karen — December 31, 2008 @ 7:17 pm?”
Oh, my. What a tacky opportunist you are to compose snark in this particular space. My best wishes go out to those unfortunate to encounter you this year. Was it your lack of friends that caused you to be alone on New Year’s Eve spreading your perverted version of a life lesson on the Internet? I look forward to your next snarky message that will undoubtedly arrive on St. Valentine’s Day. That day will remind you that you are basically alone, too.
Nikki,
My condolences to you and soothing, healing vibes to you and your family.
When you can, please write an obit with details on what your dad did with his life.
We’re sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Having lost my own Dad not long ago, I truly feel your pain Nikki and I send every positive thought and hope I have out to you.
To Karen above: The narrow-minded mentality behind your thoughtless note is the very reason why Hollywood needs a Nikki Finke.
I’m so sorry for your loss–I know how hard that is. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for all of the generosity, integrity, spot-on honesty and enthusiasm you put into your work. Your reporting, vigilance and wickedly wonderful humor really does make a difference to many people. Your dad raised a great girl! Bless you Nikki during this tough time. Love ya!
What can I say that hasn’t already been said in the way of encouragement for you?
Know this: that you are an appreciated and vital part of the online community. May the tenacity you show in getting a story serve you well in your time of personal upheaval and may you take comfort in the resilience of spirit you so frequently show us.
We can soldier on for a while…muddling our way through of course, because it’s easier for us to figure out where this crazy business is heading when we have your insights, but we’ll hang in there until you can return.
May you soon find comfort and peace.
Nikki–sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your beloved father. He will be missed.
To “Karen”, wow–just how tacky can a person get? Obviously, when “compassion” was being taught you were out of the room and off the planet. I’ve seen many bizarre things in the world–but you are in a class all by yourself. You should be totally ashamed of yourself–try growing up before posting again.
My heart goes out to you and your family, Nikki. Rough and inexplicable losing a parent, and there’s an added layer of vulnerability to loss at holidays. I’m sorry…
So sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with
you.
My thoughts and best wishes are with you.
I pray for your family…and I do pray for you that this will be a time of soulseeking.
We all need to do the same…there’s so much pain and negativity in this business and it saddens me that all this sympathy displayed here will vanish with your very next GOTCHA column.
You deserve all the sympathy, prayers and well wishes offered here…as do many of the folks who’ve had their lives flayed open on this site.
May we all be more peaceful and less cruel carriers of news in 2009.
Hopefully you will feel the true compassion being offered by the folks who have written here…and forget about Karen.
I’ve spent this holiday season tending to my mother in hospice so I feel your pain…and again pray that you’ll be able to find some new insights when you return to us.
Will be thinking of you. Always let us know if you need anything.
I’m so sorry. God bless your family.
My sympathies! I hope your time off gives you some time to reflect and grieve.
When you’re ready to come back to work please remember there is an entire industry looking to you as the ONLY conduit of complete information about the ongoing labor issues in this industry. Without you, most of us wouldn’t have realized how completely useless, one-dimensional and virulently anti-union the coverage in the so-called trades really has become.
I think I’m not alone when I say, ‘By all means take care of yourself but as soon as you’re ready we NEED you back!’
Very sorry to hear your awful and sad news. My deepest sympathies…
My deepest sympathies to you during this difficult time. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear about your father. I am sure he was very very proud of you. Best wishes to you and your family. My thoughts are with you.
Condolences on your loss.
My deepest sympathies.
My humble thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time.
Be happy and well in 2009 Nikki.
Nikki,
I extend to you and your family my deepest condolences. My best wishes for you and yours in the New Year.
May your father Rest In Peace.
Love and prayers for U at this time, N.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
My prayers are with you and your family.
My condolences to your family Nikki.
All of us have a place in Heaven waiting for us. Your dad is there already.
God bless!
My thoughts go out to you and your family, Nikki. God Bless!
heath
My condolences! I wish you the best throough this difficult time.
Chuck
My sincerest condolences to you in this tragic time. I’ve been through a similar situation with may father, some six years ago, and even taking the journey of a long illness with a parent doesn’t steel you for the inevitable conclusion.
Also, let me take this opportunity to thank you for this invaluable site – as both a source of information and entertainment.
Please accept our gratitude, sympaty, and best wishes that 2009 improves quickly for you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Nikki!
Our thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. Your beloved father will be missed.
To “Karen”, your total lack of compassion and snide comments speak volumes of your sad personality. Might I suggest seeking professional help? It is totally needed.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my father over 20 years ago and he is in my thoughts every day. Take care of yourself during this difficult time and try to remember the good memories you have in your heart that you created together.
Nikki,
So sorry to hear about your loss.
I am very sorry for your loss. Take good care.
Nikki,
First allow me to join the loud chorus who are denouncing Karen@7:17, who obviously never had a father of her own.
I lost my dad recently to Alzheimer’s. Like so many on this site, I know what you are going through. As another WGA member, I have been so heartened by the fact that you were the one person in the Hollywood press who seemed to understand what we were going through.
That connection is abundantly still there. There are so many in the Hollywood community who feel, know and share your pain.
We have your back until you return to your post.
BTW, your father must have been so proud of you.
Chris Darling
The day my father died was the saddest day of my life. Wouldn’t put up with this crazy business if he hadn’t given me his passion for movies. Thanks for everything you do to keep it real Nikki. My thoughts are with you.
Sorry to hear about your father’s passing, Mrs Finke. My condolescences.
Nikki,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.
P
Nikki, I am sorry for your loss. Sending you warm wishes.
I’m sure he was (is) a great man. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Karen was totally correct. Everyone on this site, on other internet sites and around the world needs to understand that there is a time for snarky comments but no one needs to be vicious. Nikki is guilty of this as am I and, I suspect, many of the other commenters on this site. Let’s try to make 2009 a more heartful, emotional and positive time. Nikki often takes great glee in tearing people apart, and helping to destroy movies that she has never seen but which a lot of folks poured their hearts and souls into. I like this site, I’ve spoken with Nikki in the past, and I believe that Karen was merely a truth-teller in an industry that, to quote a great movie line, can’t handle the truth (at times.) But let’s remember that for every Barack Obama or Nelson Mandela who wants to help the world, there’s a Mike Ovitz or Anthony Pellicano who is ready to tear it apart for his own greedy pathological desires. Go get ‘em Nikki and, Karen, keep up your good deeds as well. Happy new year everyone
Nikki, may God bless you and your family at this difficult time. I’m sending love your way!!!
I’m sorry to hear about your father passing away. my sincerest condolences to you at this time.
Nikki,
I am very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear this. Take the time you need. A death in the family is one of the most difficult things one can go through.
We love all you do for your site in informing us and providing insight. You are one of the rays of sunshine and truth in an otherwise dark and confusing entertainment biz.
I’m so so sorry for your loss, Nikki.
Dear Nikki,
my condolences to you and your family on your great loss.
May you be able to comfort each other in these sad times, and may you take strength from all of us who share your sorrow.
Oh Nikki, I am truly sorry for your loss, there are no words that can express my deepest sympathy for you.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Also come back when you feel like it, don’t worry about the site. You take care of yourself and your family right now…
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father N. Best wishes to you and your family through this challenging time.
You must have made your father very proud – as your work, and his legacy, are rock solid. Thank you for bringing insight and opinion to the day to day. Take the time you need (advice, not permission). With admiration and sympathy,
Im gonna be the first to defend Karen. She expressed her condolences. She seemed sincere. She used the opportunity to point out that maybe Nikki might use this time period to reflect on her behavior towards others – which has been at times on the aggressive side. Is it disgusting? No. Karen didn’t insult Nikki’s father. Ehh, maybe it was a bit “opportunistic.” Maybe she could have waited a few days. So what. She had the balls to say what was really on her mind. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think Nikki will be horrified. She’s a tough broad. This is a public forum. Nikki has made the choice to discuss private things on this site. And I think assumes the risks thereof…
Yes, I’ve lost parents and other loved ones. So I do know what’s like. It’s sad, but its not tragic, unless their lives were cut short. Death is part of life. So is people saying slightly ill-timed things. Get over it!
Nikki,
I am sharing your sorrow and feeling all your pain. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Your father will forever be proud of you.
Erik
I’m really sorry for your loss. Take care.x
My condolences to you and all your family.
My condolences to you and your family.
I love the people, full of righteous indignation, attacking Karen for her lack of tact and grace…by being tactless and graceless in their ugly attacks on her.
Hilarious and sad.
I am so sorry for your loss, Nikki.
Dear Nikki -
God bless you and your family. When my dear father died the outpouring of goodness from others was a true blessing. Please know you are in my prayers and thoughts.
Sorry for your loss. condolence to you and your family.
Much love.
So sorry at your loss. Love, thoughts and prayers to you–you are not alone.
Nikki,
I wish you the best. Hollywood isn’t going anywhere and you’ve worked hard for yours. You truly have a lot of support and I wish you time, healing and love. Truly.
Nikki,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I lost my father a number of years ago as well as my mother now, and it’s it’s the loss of that person who has know and loved your entire life. Big hug, be with family and friends, and take it easy getting back. We’ll all be waiting patiently for next column, when you are ready.
Rebecca
Nikki, I’m sorry for your loss. Don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve. In my experience, when someone tells you “I know just how you must feel” at a time like this, they’re not even close. Take your time and find some peace.
my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time…
Nikki, I am very sorry to heart that. My father was really ill for a time too and I can imagine how awful this is. My condolences.
Condolences Nikki. I bet your dad was very proud of your accomplishments.
really sorry to hear that Nikki
thoughts are with you and yours
Very sorry for your loss, Nikki. Take care and all the best….
Dear Miss Finke,
So sorry for your loss. Sending warm wishes and prayers to you and your family during this time. Don’t forget we never really die.
And to all others who’ve shared stories of lost fathers, my condolences.
And to Karen, so sorry for your friends loss.
And to others, so sorry for your ire.
ONWARD!!!
so sorry to hear of your loss. heartfelt wishes go out to you and your family.
My condolances. All the best to you and your family.
Nikki, my deepest sympathies for the loss of your father…
I’m very sorry for your loss, Nikki. My thoughts are with you.
Take your time to heal. We’ll be here when you return.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Nikke.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Condolences again Nikki.
And to Karen, walteri and Max, congratulation on living up to the finest Hollywood standards by showing your respect at a wake through crapping on the departed’s relatives.
I’ll bet your parents are REALLY proud of you three.
No words suffice, Nikki. With you in spirit. h.
Don’t feel obligated to post for any reason. Take the week off and be with your family and celebrate his life. Best wishes.
Words fail me for your loss. I hope the below quote helps with each passing day.
“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”
Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences; my mother-in-law had a devastating stroke a few weeks ago… we definitely know how badly this kind of unfortunate life event can sting during the holidays. Lean on your friends!
I’m late to seeing this.
Nikki, I’m so sorry. Ever since you mentioned that your dad was ailing, I’ve wondered how he was doing. This is very sad news.
Please take care of yourself and your family. You’ll be in my prayers.
Karen: Miss Manners would be appalled. You need to read some Emily Post, girl.
My prayers are with you. I lost my father in 2004.
God bless you.
I’ve come to this posting late. I’m so terribly sorry to hear about your loss. My sincerest condolences.
So sorry to hear. God bless you and your family. Keep up yours great work – whenever you are up to it. I know you won’t worry about what some rude people say!
Dear Nikki,
Have thought of you all weekend and wanted to offer my condolences with the passing of your father.
Nikki,
Very sorry for your loss. Take the time you need and make sure you take care of yourself. We all look forward to your return.
My sincere condolences to you and yours during this time of loss and grief.
“May God console you, together with all mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.”
My heartfelt condolences. May he rest in peace & may you draw strength and comfort from the love of your friends and family during this difficult time. If working will help you through, we will read. If taking some personal time is what you need, we can wait.
Nikki,
I wish you all the strength and courage in the world to get through this hard time. My condolences,
Earl
Dear Nikki,
I read your site regularly and enjoy your intelligent writing. I have never commented on your site but I just wanted to pass on thoughts to yourself and your family at this sad news.
My thoughts are with you and your family and hope that you find strength together through this time.
Warm regards,
Elaine
I am very sorry to hear this Nikki. Your coverage has always been top notch and I really respect how you’ve been keeping up with things considering your family situation. Best of luck to you and your family and my sincere condolences.
Ms. Finke:
I wish Peace to you and your family in this difficult time. I hope you are surrounded by friends and loved ones now, and you can all remember together the good times you had with your father.
we luv ya nikki and hope you are doing ok. healing takes time.

He was a very accomplished person for raising a daughter like you. God Bless
