After moving the ceremony to Netflix, the Screen Actors Guild is rebranding its annual prizes as the Actor Awards, the guild announced Friday.

The number of striking guild members has also shrunk from about 60 when the walkout began, as many had to find other jobs under the financial strain of being out of work for so long.

Despite all the costs entailed in the transition, industrial technology and the market system accomplished what no benevolent king’s redistribution, no loving bishop’s charity, no mercantilist’s protectionism and no powerful guild ever did.

"Any talent agency that engages in this should be boycotted by all guilds," said Lyonne, who is currently working with "ethical AI" to create a feature film that stars real actors.

Its roots lie in the medieval stonemasons' guilds, and members still meet in "lodges" to carry out secretive initiation rituals and ceremonies based on allegories such as the building of King Solomon's Temple.
