Oscar-nominated writer-director Tony Gilroy landed his first Emmy nomination today for his Disney+ Star Wars series Andor, which received a total of 8 noms, including Outstanding Drama Series.
A veteran writer, producer and director whose father was a Tony-winning playwright as well as director and producer, Gilroy spoke about the ongoing WGA strike, now in its 72nd day.
“I think this is the existential battle that I thought we were having in 2007,” Gilroy told Deadline, referring to the previous writers strike in 2007-08 which lasted 100 days and gave WGA jurisdiction over new media. Gilroy argued that it didn’t go far enough.
“To my great disappointment we settled that strike prematurely,” he said. “I think those problems were deferred. I think there are structural problems that need to be repaired.”
A second-generation guild member, Gilroy spoke about WGA and SAG-AFTRA’s role protecting the entertainment industry and didn’t have nice things to say about the tactics of the other side in the contract negotiations, the studios, repped by AMPTP.
“I think SAG and the Writers Guild are trying to preserve our industry. In such a strange way, we’ve become the creators and the interpreters, the creative community are becoming the protectors of this industry, this huge industry that people love,” he said. “And the caretakers on the other side, I think they’re being recklessly careless.”
Two and a half months into the WGA strike and on the verge of a possible SAG-AFTRA strike, Gilroy is optimistic about the ultimate outcome.
“I think in the end this time the guilds will be prevail. They have to,“ he said.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Whether it’s a soundtrack, a score or a song placement, there are countless wrong ways to do music for film and so few ways to make it feel right. There’s very little leeway, which is why it can be so challenging for even the most successful hitmakers to make the transition to film music — especially with a major film event like “Barbie.” With albums and songs by Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars and many others under his belt, seven-time Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson is one of the most successful pop songwriter-producers working today, yet his work on the soundtrack to Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster “Barbie” film — for which he co-wrote and co-produced five songs, cowrote the score with longtime collaborator Andrew Wyatt, and served as an executive music producer — was a new experience.
