Jimmy Kimmel took some time to celebrate Hollywood’s double strikes during his Oscars monologue on Sunday night, applauding all those who stood in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA in 2023. But the host made sure to point out that the Director’s Guild of America “folded immediately.”
“We were on strike for a long time, for 148 days. For five months, this group of writers, actors and directors, the people who actually make the films, said we will not accept a deal,” Kimmel praised. “Well, not the directors, you guys folded immediately.”
The moment earned a huge laugh from the crowd because, indeed, the directors’ guild struck a deal well before the writers’ and actors’ guilds did.
