Honestly…
It would be great to see an agreement happen and give a much needed signal that we’re *not* going to get “shellacked” by a bunch of Hollywood Studio Bosses who prefer doing deals through the back door.
And I’m not even SAG
Nope. Just ACTRA. And I’m willing to bet the farm that we won’t be getting a deal that would be sweeter on new media than what SAG will get.
I’m sticking to my claim and praying that I’m wrong…
SAG will strike because the studios want it that way. AMPTP says they’ve played their final card.
I just hope that SAG has the balls to strike if they have to.

Looks like the studios are trying to get SAG to strike. It must feel like a *really* long weekend for SAG members…
And elsewhere in Hollywood…
ABC Exec. VP, Howard Davine has done a great disservice to those Studio Bosses who are trying to convince us that they want stronger Copyright laws in order to “protect the creators”.
Note that the first point highlights the Studio’s belief that rights holder getting creative control adds “an unnecessary layer to the creative process”.
PREDICTION: SAG will strike because this is the finale of ACT ONE of “Life According To Hollywood”. There’s no way that the “producers” aren’t orchestrating the PR of the looming strike.
