Now that the writers strike is coming to a close – though it's not a done deal yet – and you know what to set your TiVo for and when, and what the industry will look like for the next few weeks, it's time to answer the question on everybody's mind: WHO WON THIS MOTHER F-ER?

Lots of people have lots of different answers.

Slate's Kim Masters: Nobody. "What's clear is that the deal was pushed through the system so damn fast that many writers weren't sure what they were applauding at the guild meeting on Saturday night at the Shrine. Many thought they had made gains in new media that really aren't there—specifically, that the guild had won a percentage of ad money from shows streamed on the Internet."

New York Times' David Carr: The writers. Or, more precisely: "On points, yes, probably. On principle, certainly. From a practical perspective, maybe not so much."

Los Angeles Times' Patrick Goldstein: Undecided. But there are specific winners, like the WGA leadership, blogger Nikki Finke, Jay Leno, and studio chiefs Peter Chernin and Bob Iger. The losers? Warner Bros.' Barry Meyer, NBC's Jeff Zucker, the Golden Globes, and negotiator Nick Counter.

The Guardian's Stephen Armstrong: Yes and no. "The writers wanted more money from DVD sales as well as a share of the payments for films and programmes distributed on the internet. These they got under the deal made last week - including a first-time "residual", or royalty, of 1.2% of what the distributor grosses on streamed film content. What they didn't get was an extension of the Writers Guild's jurisdiction to reality TV and animation."

The Hollywood Reporter's Carl DiOrio: It's "a complex calculation," he says. "Having missed paychecks for more than three months means many scribes will see their pay raises and residual gains as mere means of playing catch-up in their household income. But those who found themselves between projects when the strike began November 5 are sitting pretty going forward, as first-time residual gains in new media will put them on a better track to compensate for any loss of income caused by diminishing revenue from TV reruns and DVD."

Forbes.com's Lacey Rose: The Internet won! More so, Hollywood saved the Internet, which was apparently facing a doomsday scenario. "By gaining jurisdiction over any original material Hollywood produces for the Internet, the Writers Guild of America has ensured its survival."
