...Open enthusiasm replaced days of guarded optimism as Hollywood writers streamed out of a Writers Guild of America (WGA) meeting at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium Saturday night. WGA leaders recommended their members approve a contract offer from producers, suggesting a quick - but not immediate - end to the 14-week work stoppage that has crippled the entertainment industry since Nov. 5, interrupting production on television shows like 24 and Grey's Anatomy and costing up to $1.5 billion...
