George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson and a group of other A-listers gave a proposal to SAG-AFTRA leadership on Tuesday, which they hoped would help end the 98-day actors strike.
But the proposal was rejected on Wednesday by the union’s negotiating committee, which is sticking to the demands it has spelled out over many weeks of negotiations.
In other words, neither of these proposals addresses the problems that have kept actors on strike for 98 days. Those issues are: a union proposal to pay actors a share of streaming revenue, an increase in minimums to keep pace with inflation, and regulations on artificial intelligence.
From the standpoint of the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee, however, the proposal appears to weaken the sense of unity and commitment to the committee’s proposals — which is key to reaching the best possible deal. It also suggests that high-earning actors should somehow step in to pay for things that the studios have refused to pay for — thereby lessening the pressure on the studios to pony up.

I, for one, do not have a parasocial relationship with Scarlett Johansson. But I do wonder what she’s doing right now.
Maybe she’s bored and shitposting on some random Internet forum. Who knows.
never trust the aristocracy of any industry
they will try and fuck the rest over without failIt also suggests that high-earning actors should somehow step in to pay for things that the studios have refused to pay for
It’s just residuals for 10s of thousands of actors, how much could it cost? 12 dollars?
Oh fuck you low budget Batman
The thing about Clooney is he’s on the director/producer side half of the time.
lol I assumed Feinsteins_Ghost was talking about Ben Affleck
I wasnt aware of that.
OMG, Ryan Gosling, we have so much chemistry together!
We should do a movie together sometimes.
A-listers say…
Look, we understand what they are going through but we’ve got our revenue streams to consider. We’re taking a hit here too.
so WGA has a contract but SAG-AFTRA doesn’t?
Correct. The WGA won a new contract and the writers strike ended on October 9. The actors strike is still happening.
ah yes: scabarchassus cloons
get owned you scabby dingus, man could not work again period, why the fuck would anyone listen to this ass
The industry bends over backwards to make sure they get what they want and make everyone else to mask up so their star won’t get sick. But they can’t even lend a hand and help the people that make their movies.
