Change is in the air.

In a recent election, the ‘old guard’ at SAG, the biggest actors union, got the boot.

The ‘change’ party, Unite for Strength, won 6 of the 11 seats up for grabs.

Actors Amy Brenneman and Adam Arkin lead the way for Unite for Strength as the top vote-getters. Other ‘party’ winners are Ken Howard, Pamela Reed and former Gray’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh .

Unite for Strength received backing from high-profile actors such as Marcia Cross, Sally Field, Tom Hanks, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Mark Ruffalo and Gary Sinise.

Looks like the rebel party’s message rang true with voters. Unite for Strength claimed that the ‘old guard’, Membership First, bungled the contract negotiations with the studios.

The suits supposedly plan to reach out to the new winners immediately to work out a new SAG contract.

Don’t screw the actors!
