Writers Guild Awards honor outstanding writing in film, television, new media, news, radio, and promotional categories.
“Severance,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Women Talking” took home top prizes at the Writers Guild of America Awards, Hollywood’s final major awards ceremony before next week’s 95th Oscars.
The main takeaway from the night was that the group of writers in the industry are actively involved and prepared to support their guild during the forthcoming negotiations for a new master contract for film and television.
