Better Call Saul should have won. Better Call Saul should win all the awards all the time.
Again, you guys are missing the point.
All of those shows were rewarded with Peabodys.

The other shows should have been forced to give their Peabody's to "Better Call Saul." I mean it's like "Please Mr Gilligan humbly accept these awards for all the time the Emmy's screwed you guys over" and he would be like "Well Thank You. This means so much. Just go put them in the trunk of my car. Also do you have some cash as well. We were screw big time."
You are aware Better Call Saul did win, right? So what if a bunch of other shows also won?
I explained it twice and the article itself makes it pretty clear. Reading is hard, apparently.
I realized that. I just don't think "Andor" deserved one.
Try switching to semaphore. It won't work, but at least you'll get some exercise in the process.
August next year IIRC. Though it'll probably get pushed back to October/November. That's usually how these things go.
I did enjoy that one Monty Python sketch about semaphoring so I would at least get a good laugh out of it!
Possibly longer since Tony Gilroy has stepped away from the production in solidary with the WGA strike. The whole show should stop production.
Indeed it'll have to anyway if the actors and directors also go on strike at the end of June.
Preach.
Well, I won't hold my breath for new productions.
To be clear, I mean in solidarity with the writers strike, not as commentary on the show itself. Which I think is fantastic and I look forward to the second season...after the writers get better pay residuals (among other issues).
So far as LF productions go; 'Ahsoka', 'Skeleton Crew' and 'Bad Batch' season 2 are likely the only ones relatively safe from being directly affected by the strike, since all of the acting/writing parts are in the can. Everything else is either in pre-production or actively filming.
That said Rau, Corbett, Watts & Filoni may come under similar fire as Gilroy if they continue to be involved with non-writing duties.
'The Acolyte' may have just squeaked through as it was supposed to wrap up filming right around now, but it may be put on hold depending on what might still need doing.

Writing is still done during filming (yes, that's normal). The murkier question is whether any writing is necessary for post-production, such as onscreen text, graphical changes, and maybe even reordering of scenes (and that's just off the top of my head). I don't know the WGA bylaws for such instances.
I don't pretend to have any insights into what does and does not count. Honestly, I think they're being a little unfair to Gilroy, but it is indeed a bit of a grey area.
Still, you'd think any editing or post-production that doesn't involved the creation of new material to be more under the Editors Guild auspices than the WGA, though I don't even know how influential that union is compared to the writers, actors & directors' unions. Probably not very up until now given how poorly the post production people have been treated of late.
The strikers' position is that writers are needed during post-production, to handle situations such as those you mention [https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/wga-writers-strike-what-happens-tv-shows-streaming-1235598343/]. Rewriting or writing new dialog during post-production is also a thing; ADR is done during post-production.
Ah, yes, ADR! I knew there was something big i was forgetting.
Thank you for the link. I'll give it a read now.
