Hollywood writers are officially putting down their pens and grabbing picket signs. After weeks spent negotiating a new contract with Hollywood’s biggest studios, the Writers Guild of America said Monday that it has failed to reach a new deal. Now, for the first time in 15 years, nearly 12,000 scribes plan to walk out on Tuesday in a strike that threatens to grind Hollywood to a halt. “Conversations with Hollywood sources in the weeks after negotiations began indicated that no one was jonesing for a strike,” Natalie Jarvey writes. Yet the breakdown of negotiations led to one anyway—and some areas of the industry will begin to feel its effects as soon as tonight.
Elsewhere in HWD, Savannah Walsh reports how network late-night shows signed off before going dark due to the strike; Michael Shannon goes deep with David Canfield; the Academy amends its Oscar campaign rules; and VF’s fashion team breaks down the best-dressed stars at Monday’s Met Gala.
