SAG Hollywood Meeting Yesterday

Several hundred SAG members attended a Hollywood branch meeting yesterday, with the Hollywood Reporter estimating 400-500 people and Variety reporting the Guild's estimate of 735. The two Allens received standing ovations and enthusiastic support. They attacked the AFTRA deal and insisted that the studios were still negotiating, but did not provide details on strategy. The Guild didn't release any comment on the meeting.
