"Hopefully the end of the strike will signify a good resolve for all involved and not just the airing of the Oscar show."
Exactly, DAME. Both sides have been pressured from the Academy to resolve the stike in time for the Oscars. While I am pleased the pressure was given to resume talks, AMPAS' precious Oscar ceremony doesn't mean sh*t next to the contracts with the writers.
I'll be very interested to read what the new contracts include.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
