I hereby officially predict that a deal between the AMPTP and the Directors Guild will be announced tomorrow. On what do I base this? Simple: I have an extremely busy day tomorrow. I don't have time to deal with a DGA deal tomorrow — all the pieces I'll have to write, all the discussions I'll have to have — which is why there will be one. That's about as sound a basis for a prediction as anything right now.
Actually, I have heard nothing from anyone in a position to know how close to a deal they might be so just sit tight. Either they'll make a deal this week or they won't. I'm going to be very busy next week too, so it could happen then.
