Groening/Cohen On Strike During Annie Awards
WAGON TRAIN
posted 10 February 2008 source animation magazine


Matt Groening and David X. Cohen provided one of the night's several references to the writer's strike as they approached the podium with strike signs to collect their award for Futurama: Bender's Big Score (Best Home Entertainment Production). Cohen joked that the writers had granted the Annie Awards a waiver for that one category alone. After winning the Annie for Music in an Animated TV production, The Simpsons composer Alf Clausen thanked Groening for using L.A. studio musicians and a 35-piece orchestra for every episode of his long-running show. He was modest as always comparing himself to Elizabeth Taylor's eighth husband. "I know what to do, but I don't know how to make it interesting!"


Hey idiots, the strike's over!

Galalimit:
Here in Canada, on a Canadian channel called NewsWorld, [writer] Joel Cohen appeared live via satelitte to discuss the current strike. In it, he said there's only enough new episodes lined up for the rest of the year, after that, that's it.

He also said that when the writers do eventually return, there will be such a backlog that there won't be any new episodes until this time next year which is November 2008.



What will become of ANIMATION DOMINATION???
