HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Hollywood writers gathered at night on Sept. 27 to celebrate hard-won gains in a months-long strike that brought production of new films and television shows to a halt, while leaders of the actors union said they would head back to the bargaining table with producers next week.
Close to 1,000 members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) filled the Hollywood Palladium, where key leaders of the negotiating team received thanks and several standing ovations, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
