Graydon Carter’s worst staffing mistake Toby Young has come up with some alternative WGA strike suggestions — and no doubt, a touch of VF-inspired schadenfreude — for the Oscar ceremonies in The Guardian, including:

”The WGA Oscars

”As a gesture of goodwill, NBC could turn over this year’s telecast to the WGA, which could organise its own Academy awards.

”The red-carpet Oscars
