The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, which is slated to air live this Sunday from Santa Monica’s Barker Hanger with host Drew Barrymore, will move forward even as a writers strike is now under…
is now underway. Because it’s live, the kudocast will likely be the first program noticeably impacted by a strike, although insiders close to the show tell“We are all collectively hoping for the best, we’re hoping for a resolution so that the show can continue on as planned,” one production source toldon Monday, prior to the WGA contract expiration and announcement of a strike. “Should we need to pivot, we will. We are working through our contingency plans.
“The things that we have planned to be in the body of the show, we made efforts to have those plans be in place,” Barrymore toldon Monday. “Our respect and solidarity is not only intact, we are covering ourselves so that we can do the appropriate thing. Nobody here is tone deaf… I think we’ve been acting in accordance of being the most appropriate to everyone we support, and have a plan for that in place.
During the 2007-2008 WGA strike, the Golden Globes eventually had to switch to a press conference format, as talent opted not to cross a picket line — and the Globes wasn’t able to clear clip rights from the WGA. . Because this is a brand new strike, it’s unclear whether there would be any picketing of Sunday’s show. And insiders said the issue of clips has so far not come up, and won’t appear to be an issue.
