Colin Farrell and Susan Sarandon Show Support For the Writers' Strike: "We're Nothing Without Writers"

Davidson's gig as "Saturday Night Live" host was canceled by the strike, but the star showed up on the picket line to share his support on May 5 — even delivering pizza to striking workers, per Today.

Barrymore called off her hosting duties for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, which aired on May 7, to stand in solidarity with the writers' strike. "I'll be watching from home and hope you will join me," she said in a statement to POPSUGAR. "I thank MTV, who has truly been some of the best partners I have ever worked with. And I can't wait to be a part of this next year, when I can truly celebrate everything that MTV has created, which is a show that allows fans to choose who the awards go to and is truly inclusive."

After some social media users called on Brunson specifically to help aid striking writers, the TV creator tweeted, "I don't use this app anymore because it honestly is a bit much for me- but I just want to clarify this- I am a writer. I'm in the wga. I'm also on strike!" She added, "I have no real power here other than to join my union in demanding fair compensation for writers! #wgastrong."

In another tweet, Brunson wrote, "This week you'll probably find me on picket line. This strike also isn't about me, and I don't want to make it about me. It's about all writers :) support the wga. No show or movie you love is written without… writers."

Per a photo featured in another tweet, Brunson was seen on the picket lines in Los Angeles holding a sign that read "AI can't write Tariq's raps!" as a nod to one of her "Abbott Elementary" characters.

On May 3, the "Abbott Elementary" star wrote in a tweet, "I stand with the writers ✍️ This is the first @WGA writers' strike in 15 years. The last time it happened in late 2007—it lasted for 100 days. If the two parties can't come to an agreement soon, the effects of this strike will be felt throughout Hollywood for months to come." That same day, she tweeted photos from the picket lines as a member of the SAG-AFTRA.

At the 2023 Met Gala, Wilde said in a red carpet interview, "I support the writers." "I think it'll affect all of us," she added. "It'll affect every part of the industry and people beyond the industry, but, you know, we have to stand up for our rights. I support unions. They've spent a lot of time thinking about what they deserve and I wish it didn't have to come to this."

Lowe, who was spotted on the picket lines in Los Angeles on May 2, told Deadline, "I'm in solidarity with so many people. Mike Shur, who I've loved working with, my son John Owen, who I've created a show for Netflix with. We're only as good as the writing we get."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian canceled his For Your Consideration event tied to his new Netflix special, "Baby J," that was scheduled to take place on May 6. Mulaney's spokesperson confirmed to the publication that his decision came amid newly released strike rules that note writers "should let the company know you are prohibited from making these promotional appearances about your work until the strike concludes." Reps for Mulaney did not respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment.

On the "Variety Awards Circuit" podcast, the "Love & Death" star said of the writers' strike, "We need to reimagine structurally how people of all levels can continue to make a living now that we have these streaming services. Actors who used to be able to live off residuals — can't anymore because they get paid for one day. And it goes on a streaming service, and they don't see a penny after."

On April 11, before the strike, Lynskey quote-tweeted a message from the WGA West on Twitter and wrote, "I stand with the WGA members voting to strike! The main thing any of us have to go on when choosing a project is the quality of the script. It's everything. There is no industry without writers. They deserve to be able to make a living!"

The "Broad City" star and cocreator joined picketers in New York City on May 3 to support to ongoing strike, during which she told The Hollywood Reporter, "We need living wages, our basic needs met, and the writing portion of TV and film has been squeezed and squeezed and squeezed over the last few years and it really shouldn't be surprising to the big studios that the human beings who are creating this content, who are the beating hearts and minds of this behind this art and content want to be treated with basic dignity."

In a recent interview with POPSUGAR, the "How I Met Your Father" star talked about the likelihood of the show getting a third season and said, "We want to keep going. We just don't know yet. There's so much happening within the industry that everything is kind of up in the air. And honestly, I stand in solidarity with the writers."

She added, "So hopefully we get to come back sooner than later, but I feel like it's only fair enough for everyone to get what they deserve."

On May 3, during a panel with Variety's Executive Music Editor Shirley Halperin and Gamma's Larry Jackson, Snoop Dogg shared his thoughts on today's "f*cked up" streaming models that have led writers to strike over proper compensation. "The writers are striking because [of] streaming, they can't get paid," the rapper said. "Because when it's on the platform, it's not like in the box office. I don't understand how the f*ck you get paid off of that sh*t. Somebody explain to me how you can get a billion streams and not get a million dollars? That's the main gripe with a lot of us artists is that we do major numbers . . . but it don't add up to the money. Like where the f*ck is the money?"

The comedian tweeted a photo of herself picketing on May 2 and wrote on Twitter, "Here we go again! #wgastrong."

The filmmaker and TV creator, who's gearing up to release his Prime Video series "I'm a Virgo" this summer, tweeted on April 30 that he wouldn't be promoting his show should the strike commence. "U know hard I promote I'm A Virgo. Posting&reposting anything that helps do that. That ALL stops soon as a #WGAStrike is called. Its a move showrunners r making in hopes2make negotiations go faster. Still hope ppl see the show, but I wont put in work for it during the strike."
