When the clock hit 12:01 this morning, the Writers Guild of America went on strike after talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers failed, and their contract expired. One of the major things that WGA wants is fair pay in the streaming era. The strike means that production has been paused on many series, and late-night talk shows are going dark. There hasn’t been a WGA strike in 15 years. Hopefully, the strike ends before the most prolific writer in Hollywood becomes AI, and we hear the words, “And the Emmy for Outstanding Writer in a Drama Series goes to… ChatGPT!” – The Hollywood Reporter

Lea Michele helped announce the nominations for the 2023 Tony Awards this morning, and the Some Like It Hot musical got the most noms with 13. But the most surprising part of today’s nominations is that while announcing the nominees for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, Lea didn’t ignore all the names and say, “What do you know? The only nominee is Lea Michele in Funny Girl, and I’m not even eligible!!” – Playbill

Surprisingly, Anna Wintour didn’t clear the Met floor and force the two to fight to the death – Lainey Gossip
