The SAG-AFTRA strike website had this advice for members wondering if they were allowed to promote themselves (or post #spon): “Yes! Promote yourself as an artist, a fashion icon, a union activist, a commercial actor, and a proud SAG-AFTRA member. But actors aren’t supposed to promote any of their projects in the pipeline while on strike, so it’s unlikely that you’ll see a sea of #barbie and #oppenheimer hashtags from their star-studded casts. Social media actually helps boost the visibility of their cause, and you’ll see many guild members posting content with bespoke strike-related hashtags. Yes! Actors (and writers) do not have to fade gently into that good night while they’re on strike. And Emmy campaigning will certainly be affected - SAG-AFTRA and WGA members aren’t allowed to take part in “for your consideration” events under their strike notices and they wouldn’t be able to accept awards for projects produced by struck companies. But history shows that awards shows that proceed during strikes turn out to be bleak affairs. The Emmys are still set for Monday, Sept. UPS strike would trigger pandemic-era supply chain issues, expert says I love the Emmys - will they still air in September? A different union altogether, Equity has expressed solidarity with SAG-AFTRA and many actors are members of both unions. No, stage actors in plays and musicals are governed by the Actors’ Equity Association. Do the strikes mean the show is going to be canceled? I have a ticket to a play starring my favorite actor.
As for movies, there’s still a steady stream on the horizon. Ditto for streaming favorites like “Stranger Things.” International productions may be able to fill the gap. Your favorite broadcast shows like “Abbott Elementary” definitely aren’t coming back by early fall, regardless of whether the strikes are settled by then. The impact of the writers strike has so far been felt most acutely in the world of television now, the actors strike has halted the bulk of film production. That’s the big question: When will the pipeline dry up? There aren’t clear answers. When will I stop being able to watch new movies and shows? Some guild members have said watching their programs on streaming services - if they’re still on there - actually helps make their cases to the the studios’ bargaining arm, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Nope, there’s been no consumer boycott of any kind called yet. These notable movies, TV shows are on hold because of the actors strike Should I cancel Netflix, MAX or the 16 other streaming services I subscribe to if I want to show support?
