Summary
Happy Holidays, Richies! Today we kick off our 2023 countdown of “The Gifts That Keep on Giving” with the two labor standstills that paralyzed Hollywood: the WGA and SAG strikes. A ton of A-listers spoke out in support of their fellow striking actors and writers, even as they were unable to promote their own projects. After a long time and some excruciating negotiations, both guilds were able to score new AMPTP contracts. And we’re stoked to get our shows and movies back!
