The Strike-Day 69

The latest:

Details are ironed out over the most recent mini-deal; ABC. gets out paper shredder; The Directors Guild of America talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers today in hopes of avoiding more labor troubles down the road; And the Golden Globe winners will be announced this year at a press conference on Sunday...

TWC, Dimension seal WGA pact

The Weinsteins have made it official: The Weinstein Co. and its genre arm Dimension Films have inked an interim agreement with the WGA, freeing the company to resume working with WGA-repped scribes on new and existing pic projects.

Force majeure ax falls at ABC Studios

Nearly two dozen writer deals terminated

DGA, AMPTP to begin negotiations

Groundwork already laid for Saturday's talks

Golden Globes telecast up for grabs

WGA won't picket Sunday's press conference

Wouldn't it be ironic if the ratings for the presser--since any outlet can air the event--beat those of '07's more traditional telecast?

Stay Tuned...
