Some progress in SAG negotiations?

Finally some progress in the negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the studios. Where we in our last update mentioned how the studios wouldn't give in on the SAG's demands for double residuals from DVD sales, the SAG has finally let go. They've now lowered it to just 15% and also lowered some other demands, like the 50% pay increase for guest stars on TV shows.

The talks between the studios and the SAG will again be extended until next Tuesday. And the studios have again asked the AFTRA (Radio and Television) to delay their talks to Wednesday. Earlier this week, the studios stated the SAG was being ‘unresponsive, unreasonable and unrealistic.’ Surprisingly, this seemed to have helped. But it's far from over. The people looking for a strike might still get one -- though I hope there aren't a lot of those.
