Summary

Is Hollywood finally open again for business? After five months on the picket line, the Writers Guild of America announced on Sunday that they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. If this deal is ratified, the strike would be over, and writers would get to go back to writing. So does this mean Hollywood will get its groove back? Not necessarily! The SAG strike is still in full swing, and writers are being encouraged to join actors on the picket lines as a show of solidarity. Richies, cross your fingers that they also reach an agreement soon.
