Screenwriters and major Hollywood studios have finally hammered out a new three year contract; now the Writers Guild of America's leadership must vote to pass the tentative agreement on to its 11,500 members for ratification before their 5-month strike can officially end. There is some hope that, after their vote on the agreement, WGA leadership will clarify the many questions over what is permissible for their members — particularly, if writers' ratify their new agreement before the actors end their strike.
