The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike has ended, meaning actors can get back to work after months of tense negotiations with the studios.

Celebrities, actors, and others around the entertainment industry immediately began reacting. In short: People are happy. Actors seemingly got lots of the concessions they desired, and now everyone can get back to work filming and promoting the projects that have been in limbo for months.

Actors and other famous folks posted online about their happiness.
