LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
If reruns of your favorite television shows and the flood of reality programming crowding the airwaves is giving your DVR too much time off, you might want to dust off that record button, as an end to the Hollywood Writer's strike could be near.
The Writers Guild and studios reportedly had a major break through over the weekend, which is creating optimism among Hollywood insiders affected by the strike, Variety reports.
"It's not a done deal, by any means," said a source tells Variety. "But Friday was a good day."
There have no details about what the WGA and studios have made progress on or when the strike will actually end, but according to Variety, the potential deal is said to be similar to the deal the Directors Guild reached with the studios.
If a deal between the WGA and the studios is reached soon, the Academy Awards could go on with all the nominated stars and celebrity presenters in attendance, red carpet hits & misses and long-winded weepy acceptance speeches included.
