Amy and Elizabeth, also 49, were both seen wearing “SAG-AFTRA on Strike!” T-shirts while also carrying signs.

On her sign, Amy wrote “HUMAN” – a reference to her 2016 movie Arrival, in which she wrote “HUMAN” on a whiteboard when she first encountered the aliens.

Amy and Elizabeth are just two of the many stars that have been seen picketing amid the ongoing strike. Earlier this week, the cast of Glee reunited to strike outside of Warner Bros. Studios.

It was just recently announced that the release of a highly-anticipated movie has been delayed because of the strike.
