A strange silence descended on Hollywood on Wednesday morning as stunned studio executives, agents and producers went through the motions as they tried to process Hillary Clinton's surprise loss to Donald Trump.
Early Wednesday morning, United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer dispatched a memo to the company's staff trying to alleviate anxiety and anger in the aftermath of Hillary Clinton's surprise loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.
"Many of us will be scared and threatened and we can give comfort. Some of us will be happy because our voice was heard. Either way, it's a challenging moment so let's be extra sensitive and caring with others," Zimmer wrote to the agency's employees.
Across Hollywood, agents, studio executives, producers and thousands of rank-and-file employees showed up at work Wednesday in a daze. A majority of Hollywood's power brokers and up-and-comers supported Clinton. Her roster of donors reads like a who's who of Hollywood, including Universal's Ron Meyer, Jeff Shell and Donna Langley; Warner Bros.' Kevin Tsujihara, Sue Kroll and Toby Emmerich; Paramount's Brad Grey; Sony's Michael Lynton; 20th Century Fox's Stacey Snider; and Disney's Alan Horn. Harvey Weinstein, Legendary's Thomas Tull, CAA's Bryan Lourd and ICM's Chris Silbermann also were donors, and many top figures, including Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes and stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney, hosted events for Clinton. (Entry to an August fundraiser hosted at Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's house was $100,000 per couple.)
There was also super PAC money organized by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Univision's Haim Saban on top of their personal contributions. All told, the Center for Responsive Politics reports Clinton garnered $22 million in contributions from the entertainment industry, compared to a mere $290,000 for Trump.
Now, Clinton's stunning defeat has left Hollywood in shock —

If Obamacare worked they would start carpet bombing the blue zones with Xanax. You know, in most of these places medicinal marijuana is authorized. Sounds like just the sort of medical emergency that would require getting high.
I think Trump has plenty to do without worrying Hollyweird.
“Many of us will be scared and threatened.”
Just about par for the course for psychotic, adolescent,
out-of-touch-with-reality scu*bags.
IMHO
Relax left coast pervs. Trump’ too busy to bother with you.
The left has had its way for the last decade and do not know how to handle defeat or rejection. They whine, pout and act like petulant children throwing a tantrum because they didn’t get their own way. Like any child having a “meltdown” the best remedy is to ignore them.
Move to Mexico and STFU.
Trump scares them more than bad box office receipts and/or ratings?!
This explains a lot!
“Many of Us Will Be Scared and Threatened”
Why? Just because you supported a corrupt candidate that wanted to change America from a Republic into a majority ruled socialist democracy. I guess the real fear you have is that you will be “Dixie Chicked” by the public, and have to get a real job.
Don’t worry, Mr. Zimmer.
The grownups are in charge now.
Good!
These lefty whiners have no idea how good they have it.
All right, get those propaganda machines rolling! We need Trump style villains in every plot! Take every stereotype you’ve ever heard of relating to conservatives and multiply 100 times! Release the Hollywood Hounds of Hate! Go, go, go, go, go...!
Yet more liberal hair-pulling, gnashing of teeth, and woe-is-me moaning.
Everyone who actually believed that citizens would sit by and watch the Globalists obliterate their national identities really, really needs to grow up.
Psychologists/psychiatrists call this “projection” (attributing to others what you deeply feel or believe).
Watch these dangerously unstable people. They will soon be “acting out.”
They know how to make money. So they will sniff the prevailing winds and start making movies and shows with a conservative bent. Hopefully with a new crop of actors who will appreciate this country.
FReeper max Americana had interesting observations yesterday about this very thing.
Dear Hollywood:
You will not be threatened (at least not in any kind of First amendment way).
As to whether you’re scared or not - that’s your choice.
Sen McCarthy was right. The left has infiltrated our society at all levels.
The only threat we pose is to continue to not patronize their crappy entertainment
