Summary: This 76th annual Tony Awards ceremony was held last weekend honoring the best and brightest Broadway productions from the past year. Although there was no script for host Ariana DeBose to work due to the writer’s strike. But while the telecast may have been refreshingly unscripted, the winners were fairly predictable with “Kimberly Akimbo” winning Best Musical, Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt” taking home Best Play and “Parade” picking up the Best Musical Revival trophies. The only question now is which shows will turn their Tony wins into box office gold.<br> Speaking of labor relations in Hollywood, the DGA released some more info on its proposed deal with producers and the reviews are decidedly mixed, especially for helmers who also write. Meanwhile SAG-AFTRA members made it loud and clear that they are ready to strike as well.<br> Of course we also cover the week’s top entertainment headlines including the PGA’s controversial move to merge with a competitive golf league, CNN axes its CEO and network shows continue to sink in TV ratings.<br> <br> <br> ‘Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts’ Pounces On $171M Global Bow; ‘Across The Spider-Verse’ Nears $400M WW<br> <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/06/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-opening-china-global-international-box-office-1235412963/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://deadline.com/2023/06/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-opening-china-global-international-box-office-1235412963/</a><br> ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Beats ‘Spider-Man’ With $61M Box Office Opening<br> <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/transformers-rise-of-beasts-box-office-spider-man-1235512135/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/transformers-rise-of-beasts-box-office-spider-man-1235512135/</a><br> Disneyland Paris Rocked by Wave of Protests, Strike From Employees<br> <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/disneyland-paris-protests-1235634348/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/disneyland-paris-protests-1235634348/</a><br> Disney Creators Vent Over Disappearing Film and TV Shows On Streaming<br> <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-creators-hulu-shows-disappear-remove-1235508084/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-creators-hulu-shows-disappear-remove-1235508084/</a><br> SAG-AFTRA Fights for AI Regulation to Protect the Soul of Entertainment (Guest Column)<br> <a href="https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/sag-aftra-contract-writers-strike-duncan-crabtree-ireland-1235634077/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/sag-aftra-contract-writers-strike-duncan-crabtree-ireland-1235634077/</a><br> Directors Guild Deal With Studios Draws Mixed Response As Members Review Details<br> <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/directors-guild-deal-details-members-1235510535/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/directors-guild-deal-details-members-1235510535/</a><br> Inside the Meltdown at CNN<br> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/06/cnn-ratings-chris-licht-trump/674255/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/06/cnn-ratings-chris-licht-trump/674255/</a><br> CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht is out after a brief and tumultuous tenure<br> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/07/media/chris-licht-cnn/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/07/media/chris-licht-cnn/index.html</a><br> Survey Reveals 2023 Most-Produced High School Plays and Musicals<br> <a href="https://www.broadwaynews.com/survey-reveals-2023-most-produced-high-school-plays-and-musicals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http...</a>
