The Tony Awards Management Committee appealed the WGA’s decision to not grant the Tonys a waiver to go forward during the strike, and the WGA has agreed to not picket the ceremony. Instead, in my communication w/ leadership, they preferred admonishing the WGA w/o any ideas on how to work together. According to this thread from Paul Scheer, a member of both the WGA and DGA, that might already be breaking down.Īs a proud DGA & WGA member, I was shocked to see how unwilling the DGA was to find public solidarity with the WGA. One thing that has made this strike different from the one in 2007 is the immediate solidarity that seemingly existed between unions. Below is all the latest tea, tweets, and links to merch, which is now available. Picket lines popped up outside of Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall, and celebrities did cross them! A thing they are technically allowed to do, but it’s not a great look. Basically, every person in media who wears a button-up and suit jacket to work is in New York City this week attending an upfront event, and the writers who make the content they’re looking to sell ad time during did not miss this opportunity to make themselves heard. They pull out all the stops to get businesses to buy ads during their cool, sexy programming. For those who haven’t read or watched The Late Shift, upfronts are presentations networks put on for advertisers. It’s the biggest week of the year if you happen to work in TV-ad sales.
