Hollywood is moving again.

When the writers' strike ended after 148 days there was a hope that the actors’ union and studio representatives would be able to reach a quick resolution. Instead, the strike was only called off on day 118.

SAG-AFTRA members still have to vote on the hard-bargained deal, but now they’re back to work auditioning, performing, and promoting.  

What were the sticking points that caused this major industrial access? Are there likely to be more show business strikes anytime soon? And why did studios hold for so long against the creatives that their industry is built on?

On The Front Page today, New York Times entertainment reporter Brooks Barnes explains what has been happening on the picket lines and at the negotiating table.
