The Screen Actors Guild has announced it will go on strike, marking the start of the largest shutdown Hollywood has seen in 40 years.
The union wants streaming giants to agree to a fairer split of profits and better working conditions.
The strike means that 160,000 performers will stop work at midnight.
Stars Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt left the Oppenheimer premiere as the strike began, according to director Christopher Nolan.
The union is also asking for a guarantee that artificial intelligence and computer-generated faces and voices will not be used to replace actors.
On Wednesday, the union - officially known as the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA - announced that it was unable to come to an agreement with major studios.
Its negotiating committee voted unanimously to recommend strike action. It means the vast majority of US film and TV productions will stop production. -

They haven't released anything good since Endgame so here's hoping they just go out of business, ending the jewish-hollywood empire and influence over america completely.
