In an odd bit of timing, the strike ended (more or less officially) on the same day that the WGA awards for excellence in screenwriting were announced. I am pleased to say that three of my friends earned awards….Terence Winter won Best Episodic Drama script for his SOPRANOS episode "The Second Coming" (he also shared an award for Best Episodic Drama Series writing) and Bryce & Jackie Zabel won the Best Original Miniseries screenplay statuette for PANDEMIC. Congratulations to them all!
Lee, when you said the strike ends more or less officially, do you think it’s pretty certain the writers will accept the deal?
The writers will overwhelmingly approve the deal.
That’s wonderful. Glad to hear it – both because it means an end to the strike and a good agreement. (Took AMPTP long enough, but that’s beside the point)
