Peter Bart, AMPTP Shill, reacts to the looming strike
November 24, 2008 by Lance Carter
“If SAG were to throw a monkey wrench into Oscar season, as the writer’s did a year ago, its action would doubtless stir wrath throughout the creative community,” he writes.
We are the creative community. Us, the WGA and the DGA. The WGA has already been screwed out of their New Media money… so, let me ask: who’s wrath would SAG be getting? The AMPTP‘s? They are the creative community?

Excuse me, but the ‘creative community” includes every worker in the entertainment industry, most of whom don’t receive residuals at all. SAG WILL incur the wrath of the creative community. Don’t believe me? Read the comments in the petition below. Several of them are from DGA and SAG members, btw.

You’re partially right on that one. I didn’t include all the great and incredibly hard workers who work on the films.
The AMPTP? Not so much.
