Just Wondering... Why Doesn't Anyone Seem Concerned About A SAG Strike? by The Hot Blog

I am sincerely asking for your thoughts here... My sense of it is that SAG leadership is telling their friends - "leadership" = individuals who gossip just like everyone else - that they don't want to go on strike and it is unlikely they...

A Little Petty by The Hot Blog

A lovely friday afternoon addition to the bile... the WGA decide to "out" 21 members who went "financial core" during the WGA Strike. (Not on the list is George Clooney, who reportedly went fi-core before the strike.) I don't object...

AFTRA Waits For The Moment by The Hot Blog

AFTRA finally did what they have been itching to do/announced they were doing/were pressured into not doing all along... they severed - though they maintain they suspend, not terminate - their decades old relationship with SAG. They are now free to negotiate...

Hysterical by The Hot Blog

I got a big laugh out of the New York Times anointing a new Strike Queen in Laeta Kalogridis, who runs, with others, UnitedHollywood.com . When there is nothing left to write about there is always an agent out there creating a legend. Back in November...

WGA Strike: The Questions by The Hot Blog

I started to write this as a response to a petulant comment on another entry, but the issue seemed worthy of its own space (even if people in here really don't comment on the strike for whatever reasons). Figuring out months ago how the strike would...

The End Of The Strike by The Hot Blog
