Remember when I mentioned that the spec script market in Hollywood has essentially evaporated in the last year due to all the uncertainty between the Writers Guild strike (which settled almost a year ago) and the Screen Actors Guild contract lapse, which is still unsettled after eight months.
And I said what we really need is for SAG to get their act together and either accept a contract they don't like or go out with a strike authorization vote to their membership (or any vote to their membership, actually). Well, since then, SAG has...
Staged an internal coup, tossing out their leadership and negotiating committee.
Enjoyed an attempted injunction filed by the old leadership against the new leadership.
Watched the judge throw that out.
Just so the new leadership could do almost exactly what the old leadership was going to do, short of actually sending anything to their membership for a vote.
If anyone needs my head it will be in the oven.
