Hollywood Strikes: The Power Struggle Behind the Scenes

Mark Ruffalo criticizes "billionaires" in Hollywood who undervalue actors as the actors' strike led by SAG-AFTRA shuts down the industry. Negotiations between the union and studios broke down, resulting in the first dual work stoppage by actors and writers in 63 years. Both unions are demanding increased pay and protections in the streaming era. A-listers like George Clooney and Alec Baldwin voice support for the strike, while former Paramount CEO Barry Diller warns of a potential collapse of the industry if the strike extends into the fall. The strike could impact events like the Emmys and fall film festivals, and some productions may continue filming despite the strike.
