Open warfare at SAG

One day after the glittery SAG awards a majority of the guild's board members moved to oust executive director Doug Allen. The union directors authorized that Allen be immediately replaced by former SAG General Counsel David White, who will serve as interim executive director. Senior adviser John McGuire would replace Allen as chief negotiator. Whether any of this happens anytime soon is another matter - Allen and SAG President Alan Rosenberg have been so intransigent that they might have to be carried away. Still and all, this would appear to be the end of the line. (LAT, Variety)
