Writers Guild asks Tony-nominated members not to attend Tony Awards

Striking Hollywood writers have asked their fellow Writers Guild of America members who are up for Tony Awards not to attend the ceremony on June 11, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

The WGA recently sent an email to guild members who are nominated for Tonys asking them to boycott the event, according to the report. The WGA is requesting that instead of attending, they pre-tape acceptance speeches or ask a non-member to accept the award on their behalf in the event that they win, The Hollywood Reporter said, citing sources close to the matter. 

The WGA did not immediately reply to a request for comment from CBS MoneyWatch.
