    looks like another actor strike is on the cards. The timing is obviously to put pressure leading into the awards season.

    Bad news moviefans:(

    It has very little to do with the awards season.
    It's happeneing because the Actor's Guild and the Director's Guild's contracts with the Employer's Union are about to expire.

    I doubt there will be too much feet dragging - the screenwriter's strike was important because it set the agenda for the other guild negotiations.

    The Director's Guild only took a few days to negotiate their contracts - they're fine and not on threat of strike.
