How the actor's strike will turn Hollywood upside down, impacting everything from TV and film schedules and media appearances to film festivals and the Emmys
at the premiere. “It’s really about working actors. It’s $26,000 to qualify for health coverage and a lot of people are on the margins and residual payments are getting them across that threshold. This isn’t an academic exercise. This is real life-and-death stuff. Hopefully we get to a resolution quickly. No one wants a work stoppage, but we’ve got to get a fair deal.”
As far as on-camera work that’s prohibited for SAG members, people are not allowed to act, sing, dance, perform stunts, voice act, narrate, puppeteer, or pilot an aircraft. These overall limitations don’t just affect major players; SAG actors are also not supposed to, work as body doubles, participate in rehearsals, camera tests, fittings, wardrobe or makeup tests, nor can they audition even by self-tape.
Upcoming film festivals, where awards favorites and Oscars movies typically premiere every year, are also likely to be impacted. The Venice Film Festival and the Telluride Film Festival are both set to take place at the end of August, the Toronto International Film Festival is scheduled for the beginning of September, and then the New York Film Festival is going to round out the end of the month.
While scripted programming and the industry around it has been temporarily upended with no end in sight, sources tellthat entertainment formats under the umbrella of reality TV, news, sports, video games, and soap operas are expected to continue without interruption.
