‘Jojo Rabbit’ Oscar Winner Taika Waititi Jokes WGA Needs To Fix “Impossible” Keyboards During Next Round Of AMPTP Talks – Backstage

After telling us quite seriously at the WGAE Awards last weekend, where he also won Best Adapted Screenplay, that “The last big negotiation [in 2007] was just as streaming was on the table.
