| According to the Hollywood Reporter. Do we know which nominees this will impact? | |

| How does depriving a nominee/winner an acceptance speech help this strike? | |

| This seems detrimental to the nominees who are member of the WGA. IMHO more productive demands: 1) That if a WGA member wins they publicize and/or discuss the strike and broadcast the issue on the teleacast 2) That in exchange for the protest waiver the Tonys agree to include the WGA members in future broadcasts |

| Tony Kushner isn’t nominated but he is probably a member. I wonder if Tom Stoppard is, perhaps not. | |

| Quite a few of the writer nominees are WGA members, it appears. WGA West has a searchable database of members online. I looked for all the writing nominees and found the following Play Stephen Adly Guirgis Martyna Majok James Ijames Tom Stoppard Book of a Musical Matthew Lopez Amber Ruffin Robert Horn David West Read Music and Lyrics Cameron Crowe Marc Shaiman Scott Wittman So four of the five nominees for Best Play and the entire writing team of Some Like It Hot. I guess this will help to keep the time devoted to acceptance speeches short. |
