There Will Be Oscars
He can do that.
Clooney: Yes, he can. I was at the Critics' Choice Awards and I said, "Let's get everybody in a room and stay there until we solve it." Which I really do think is a good idea. I talked to Spielberg and a few people—the CEOs and the writers that can help facilitate that. I am happy to be a part, but I wasn't standing out there going, you know, "You're going to do it and you're going to like it."
In the old days, when it was just the studios and they weren't part of these conglomerates, it was easier to get these things solved.
Clooney: Yeah, Lou Wasserman and Jack Warner would go in and sit down and say, "OK, now how are we going to solve this?" But who are you getting in the room now? Multinational corporations?
McAvoy: It's interesting how this is all so financially important for the industry, but it is also a celebration of peers, and that's a shame that can't seem to happen.
So what happens if the Oscars come around and there's still no resolution to the strike?
McAvoy: The world will end. It's fact. It's official. I was told so. [Laughter]
Clooney: Nobody is going to cross a picket line. Nobody would even consider it. Would you want to be the only person at the awards?
Jolie: We're all going to George's house.

Comment: Inbetween worrying about my kid getting shot at college, my friends losing their jobs, people losing their homes, the cost of food and utilities and gas skyrocketing, my lousy insurance that won't cover my son's health issues, my husband having a heart attack because he's working himself to death, I love to worry about the Oscars because celebrities celebrating themselves is enormously important, they deserve it, and they deserve more money for making such an enormous contribution to the everyday working and middle class man and woman, they're so in touch with reality... god help the celebrities.
