Ben on Stike: 'Every Day is a Shame'

With news that the writers strike could put the Oscars in jeopardy, Hollywood is speaking out.

Ben Affleck, honored last night at the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures with an award for Best Directorial Debut for "Gone, Baby, Gone," said he hopes the strike ends soon.

"Every day that it goes on is a shame," Ben told "Extra."

But with wife Jennifer Garner by his side, Ben turned to supporting his little brother, Casey, and his Best Supporting Actor win.

"It makes it really kind of a special deal because how often does that happen?" he said.

But how does it feel for Casey to share the limelight with Ben?

Casey laughed, "It takes a little away from it, you know!"

I agree with Ben. I am very concrn about how the strike will affect business, especially with the Academy Awards beinbg cancelled. I don’t want that. It’s time for both sides to reach an agreement to end the strike.

It seems Casey always has something negative to say about Ben but passively does it w/ a degree of flippancy. Not cool. Ben gave him all this exposure. He’s earned none on his own.

Why don’t the TV execs just fire and hire new writers, like most big companies do? I’m sure there are some very talented people out there looking for an opportunity and we could get back to watching our favorite shows!!!
