So the writer's strike is basically over without the vote to officialize it huh? That is interesting, and based on the article that Roger Simon wrote, was basically done almost in a hurry so that 2 upcoming deadlines would not be missed. Those 2 deadlines are for the Academy Awards show and for the upcoming television season.
It looks like both sides of the fence wanted to come to an agreement before things got even messier involving the previously said events.
What's also kind of funny is that, like in almost every type of case, there is no winner or loser although it seems the writers gained the most it seems to me. The writers will now make a small earning based on Internet media. What also falls into favor for the writers is that the producers realized they have nothing without them and writers are more important than the directors.
So now it's time to sit back and wait to see what the official vote will be and what the future will hold in terms of when new shows will begin to air and what shows will and won't be coming back.
Get up-to-date information on the strike at the Deadline Hollywood Daily where Nikki Finke is suggesting a return to work for the writers to be this Wednesday!
