Leadership vote is today to approve wga deal right?

 

Depends on how long it takes for the contract to actually be written.  That is the hope though, yes.

I agree the studios could start a propaganda that the new deal wasn't worth it. In this way, they increase doubts about future strikes.

That was also a bad decision, but just literally creating a new app so that they can add Discovery content to it was also bad.

To be fair they also needed to create a nee app because the old one was terrible and the interface constantly crashed.

I didn't think this week was likely given the WGA meeting was only called the week before they actually met, next week seems more likely.

Take it with a grain of salt.

As serious as this whole matter is, I appreciate Bradley Whitford staying in character as Josh Lyman.

Take it with a grain of salt.

That PR firm is finally paying off. Each CEO lovingly described by the scribes at the Hollywood Reporter is just something else.

I’ve seen plenty of people go after the others too, especially Bob Iger. 

Problem is they went after Zaslev for the wrong reasons.

I thnk he has made some lousy decisions, but what they hated him for was the "Batgirl" fuss and his cancellation of a number of DC streaming shows. IMHO if they were not pulling their weight on streaming he was right to cancel them. Yjey seemed to be shows the DC fanboys loved but the GA did not.

So is the board vote today or tomorrow?

I guess they didn't need an emergency membership vote this time around?  

 

Well, every process is different/gets updated as the years go along, I suppose.

It seems we didn't need to wait for Thursday. WGA should be pretty happy about the deak.

Guess not.  Maybe they streamlined the process from 07/08, or as I said in my edit "every process is [or rather can be] different"

I edited it in and at first glance, emphasis on first, looks pretty good.

For sure, the end of an era. It's been 147 days since the strike started.

I'm guessing the late night hosts will be back on Monday. As I've said, I think SNL should wait until the SAG strike is resolved given the cast are part of SAG but also they'd struggle with guest hosts since no movies and TV shows can promote.

SNL is back
