Writers Guild of America Says It Will Not Picket 2023 Tony Awards
Along with a message of solidarity for the Broadway community, the statement placed responsibility for the waiver denial on CBS and Paramount.
Responsibility for having to make changes to the format of the 2023 Tony Awards rests squarely on the shoulders of Paramount/CBS and their allies,” the statement said. “They continue to refuse to negotiate a fair contract for the writers represented by the WGA.” The news comes the same day as the Tony Awards Management Committee decided it would appeal to the Writers Guild of America and request they not picket the televised awards ceremony to potentially move forward with the broadcast. That followed a decision on Friday by the guild to not grant the show’s producers a waiver to proceed with the televised ceremony during the ongoing strike.
