According to Nikki Finke and various other news outlets, the current climate of the WGA strike is almost sunny - a big break from the month-plus of stalled talks. Some writers are even going as far as suggesting that a contract could emerge as early as the end of this week, which means OSCARS baby!
Dampening the news, the L.A. Times ran an article today with a bleak outlook on the upcoming negotiations for the Screen Actors Guild, whose contract ends in June. After years of ‘bowing’ to studio wishes, SAG may use the current strike-weary atmosphere to their advantage and make major demands on the moguls. Hopefully the powers that be are smart enough to deal with it before SAG gets a chance to break out the magic markers.
