AceShowbiz - Movie and TV industry just regained traction after being hit by the pandemic when it was brought to a halt in April due to the WGA strike. As studio execs reportedly dragged out negotiations with the WGA, actors like Matt Damon, Ryan Reynolds, Oprah Winfrey and Nicole Kidman showed support to picketing writers by making donation to help them pay the bills.

While the writers' strike was yet to end, actors were also fighting for better labor contract beginning on July 14. Besides affecting production schedules, the SAG-AFTRA strike made it almost impossible for actors to participate in promotional runs for their films. The writers' strike eventually ended on September 7 after 148 days, and the actors' strike ended on November 9, with studios adjusting the release dates of several big movies as the repercussion.
